It should be good if we can set Drill Mode ON/OFF by DEFAULT instead of clicking manually on the arrow every time on report.

We have improved this by allowing the drill action to take place inside the tooltip. Marking as completed. We will do more updates here but the initial item has been addressed.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

I cannot use this functionality without having to include instructions on every page for the users which is very limiting as I'm not going to stick instructions on how to use what should be a very simple thing. Really silly that there's no way to set it to stay on, and 2 years after it was first requested it's still not available! That's terrible. It's been quite disappointing moving over from a complete product like Tableau with a great customer service response to an incomplete PBI offering. I'm here only because PBI is cheaper.

My name is Reginald J .Dean and I request the same feature. I would like for there to be a setting, that will allow one to make Drill Mode the default, whenever necessary.

Absolutely necessary - especially for ease of use by reluctant Power BI users !

This functionality is vital especially if you've removed the header (new functionality from the monthly release)

Yes, really surprised to have turned on Drill Mode on my visual, uploaded the report to the service only to find that it is not on and that it needs to be switched on by the users!

Please ENABLE :D
