This has been one of the most sought after features among the PBI Community for quite some time, and I for one am beyond excited!<\/p>\n<p>For those that are not familiar with this functionality, drill through reporting allows users to navigate from one report page to another, while passing through filters to the target page. Microsoft has also incorporated a \u201cback\u201d button, making navigating to the previous report page extremely simple. Having the ability to pass filter options from one page to another and quickly navigate back is a massive step in the right, and efficient, direction.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick little demo and some instructions on how to set up your own reports:<\/p>\n<p>Sector Comparison Report Page:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/5670923\/MICROSOFT%20POWERBI%20DRILL%20THROUGH%20REPORTING%20HAS%20ARRIVED_image1.png\" alt=\"MICROSOFT POWERBI DRILL THROUGH REPORTING HAS ARRIVED_image1\" width=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Focus view of Sector Market Cap visualization:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Right click Technology &gt; Drillthrough &gt; Company Comparison Report<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/5670923\/MICROSOFT%20POWERBI%20DRILL%20THROUGH%20REPORTING%20HAS%20ARRIVED_image2.png\" alt=\"MICROSOFT POWERBI DRILL THROUGH REPORTING HAS ARRIVED_image2\" width=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Company Comparison Report (Filtered to Technology Sector):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/5670923\/MICROSOFT%20POWERBI%20DRILL%20THROUGH%20REPORTING%20HAS%20ARRIVED_image3.png\" alt=\"MICROSOFT POWERBI DRILL THROUGH REPORTING HAS ARRIVED_image3\" width=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack\u201d\u00a0 button on Company Comparison Report (Filtered to Technology Sector) used to navigate back to Sector Comparison Report:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/5670923\/MICROSOFT%20POWERBI%20DRILL%20THROUGH%20REPORTING%20HAS%20ARRIVED_image4.png\" alt=\"MICROSOFT POWERBI DRILL THROUGH REPORTING HAS ARRIVED_image4\" width=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Focus view of Company Market Cap visualization:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Right click Microsoft &gt; Drillthrough &gt; Market Details and Close Price ForecastCompany Market Cap 5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/5670923\/MICROSOFT%20POWERBI%20DRILL%20THROUGH%20REPORTING%20HAS%20ARRIVED_image5.png\" alt=\"MICROSOFT POWERBI DRILL THROUGH REPORTING HAS ARRIVED_image5\" width=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Market Details and Close Price Forecast (Filtered to Microsoft Company):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Select the \u201cback\u201d button to navigate back to the previous report page, and again until you arrive at the starting page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/5670923\/MICROSOFT%20POWERBI%20DRILL%20THROUGH%20REPORTING%20HAS%20ARRIVED_image6.png\" alt=\"MICROSOFT POWERBI DRILL THROUGH REPORTING HAS ARRIVED_image6\" width=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Setting up your reports for Drill Through is quite simple. Follow the steps below and you\u2019re off and running.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You\u2019ll notice a new option under the \u201cFilters\u201d section of your report field called \u201cDrillthrough filters\u201d. On the first target report page (the page you want to drill through to), place the field that you\u2019re going to be using to drill. In my case, I will be using Company Sector as my first pass-through field.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/5670923\/MICROSOFT%20POWERBI%20DRILL%20THROUGH%20REPORTING%20HAS%20ARRIVED_image7.jpg\" alt=\"MICROSOFT POWERBI DRILL THROUGH REPORTING HAS ARRIVED_image7\" width=\"400\" \/><\/li>\n<li>A &#8220;back&#8221; button will automatically be created for you. Position the button wherever you feel most appropriate. To navigate using the back button while in Desktop, hold CTRL and click. In Service, this is not necessary as you can simply click for navigation.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all consecutive pages in the drill path. For example, to drill through to the 2nd target page in my path, I placed Company Name on the 3rd page in my path.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/5670923\/MICROSOFT%20POWERBI%20DRILL%20THROUGH%20REPORTING%20HAS%20ARRIVED_image8.jpg\" alt=\"MICROSOFT POWERBI DRILL THROUGH REPORTING HAS ARRIVED_image8\" width=\"400\" \/><\/li>\n<li>That&#8217;s it.
