Drilldown not working in PowerBI Service

Hello,

I have a Pie chart visual I quite like.  it has five layers of hierarchy.  In PowerBI Desktop, switching on Drill Mode works a treat, clicking on a data point and the visual drills down.

 

I want this to happen once the report is published to the service but I cant get it to work.  I can right click on the visual and go to the next level, but it doesnt retain selections and is not the experience I want. 



How do I fix it so its clickable on the datapoint.  I cant figure it out.

Thanks.

  • Nevermind I figured it out.  After publishing it seems to strip out the Drill Mode.  If you edit the report within the service, you can switch this back on and save it and voilla, it now works.  Typical I would find the answer shortly after asking for help.

    I hope this helps someone else out there.
