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

Pretty disappointing this is not a feature as yet. This is a no-brainer when you consider clients/users in the real world and their relative expectations/abilities when working with data and dashboards/reports.

Even a global button to switch it on and off for a work book would be better than having to manually enable drill down on multiple visuals and pages in a report.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

it should be must to have features as everytime I have to explain users that first enable drill down then click else it will be treated as filter.

too confusion & option should be there for default enable or disable.

Drill down by default is a required option for me to simplify the number of clicks to get the information I need. Our motto is "6 clicks or less".

Pls add this feature. It is a highly useful feature as it will reduce manual clicks on the visuals by the user

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Hi Team, You're doing great job. I developed drill down report and found that it's not enabled by default when published to power bi service. Any update by when this will be done or any other way to achieve this without requesting user to manually select and enable it.
