I love the "See records" feature but it does not work on measures.

To be more consistent it would be an improvement if measures can be used as an entry to "See records".

RE: I love the "See records" feature but it does not work on measures.

Most of my teams' clients have as a basic ask, the ability to export underlying data in a visual. Orgs have come to expect this basic functionality since they have used excel for so long. We often can't accommodate this and build to the complexity needed with just calculated columns - every developer I know wants the ability to export underlying data when measures are used. This one limitation has often been the determining factor in building in Power BI vs another program.

This is a fundamental feature that really needs to be made available please!...This was raised 3 years ago? Still not functional with calculated measures? I should not need to spend the extra time implementing Drill-Through when the "See Records" feature does well enough... This has been super-higly-used on excel for 30+ years?

This needs to read Calculated Measures. If you have a measure that is derived in your DW then see records will work. It is not enabled yet on calculated measures.
