Dive Deeper with Drillthrough in Power BI Reports

Unlock granular insights within your Power BI reports using drillthrough functionality. This guide will empower you to create focused target pages that reveal details behind specific data points.

 

What is Drillthrough?

Imagine your report explores sales by supplier. With drillthrough, users can right-click a data point for a particular supplier (e.g., Contoso) and be whisked away to a dedicated page showcasing in-depth information about Contoso’s sales performance. This targeted view allows for a deeper analysis of the chosen entity.

 

Setting Up Drillthrough:

1. Craft Your Target Page:
   • Design a new page within your report specifically for drillthrough.
   • Include relevant visuals like charts and tables to present a detailed breakdown of the selected data point.
2. Define Drillthrough Logic:
   • Access the Format pane for your target page.
   • Under Page information, designate the page type as Drillthrough.
   • Ensure existing filters are carried over by selecting On for Keep all filters.
   • In Drill through from, choose the field that will be used for filtering on the target page (e.g., supplier name).
   • For Drill through when, pick Used as category if you want the drillthrough to activate when the field is used to categorize data.
3. Add a Custom Back Button (Optional):
   • Enhance user experience by incorporating a custom back button for easy navigation.
   • In Power BI Desktop, insert an image and position it on the target page.
   • Through the Format image pane, enable the Action option and set the Type to Back to create a functional button.
