Question

 How do I create an interactive drill-through report that updates based on multiple slicers?
I need to create a drill-through report in Power BI that responds to multiple slicers on the main report page. The target page should filter and display detailed records based on the selected dimensions such as product, customer, and date. What is the recommended way to structure the drill-through functionality to ensure accurate context transition and user interactivity?

Answer 1

To create an interactive drill-through report in Power BI that updates based on multiple slicers, you need to configure the drill-through page properly and ensure that the fields used in slicers are also configured as drill-through fields. This ensures that the filter context is correctly passed from the main page to the detail page.

Target Drill-Through Page Setup

Make another report page (e.g., "Detailed View").

Drag in the desired fields (e.g., Product, Customer, Date) into the Drill-through Fields pane.

Put in whatever detail-level visualizations (e.g., transaction table, KPIs) that you want to show on this page.

Ensure Field Correspondences

The fields that you have used as slicers on the main page have to correspond to the fields shown in the Drill-through Fields pane.

This would ensure that the filter context/slicer selections are carried over to users when they drill through.

Make Main Page Drill-Through Enabled

On the main page, right-click on a visual like a chart or table where you want drill-through enabled.

The "Detailed View" option should be visible for selection if the fields selected match the drill-through setup.
