The 'See Records' feature is a great feature but is not complete. It needs to be able to

1. Be used with all types of visuals (charts, tables, matrix, custom visuals)
2. Compatible with Calculated measures
3. Allow for feature to be turned on or off for each individual visual

Agreed - Summary visual figures are great but the immediate next request is always to provide the underlying data rows so that they can be provided to a team member for resolving or rectifying an issue.

I agree. See Records should be available for all visuals and the user should have the ability to turn on and off.

I agree with having the 'See Records' available for all types of visuals. I have some key pieces of information in a Matrix visual, but the inability to drill down to 'See Records' leaves the user hanging.

I heard promises from developers last year that we would be able to use this with measures when the August release came out. It's been eight months since then and there has been no new development. I assume this feature has been completely abandoned at this point.

See Records gives more power to user and user can easily find the problematic Data or Required Data from Visuals to Detail Level Records

This really needs to be available for multidimensional as well!

I was stunned that I could only See Records as long as there are no measures. Isn't using DAX what gives power to tools like Power BI? I don't get how I can have a visual with measures and a table with the data right beneath it and I can click on the visual to filter the table. Why can't I do the same with See Records?

I also support development of point 3. The ability to hide sensitive information is critical in order to prevent security risks in a large organization.

The see data feature should also show the line data in a combo chart. Right now, it is just showing data for the columns.

It would also be helpful to configure what columns to add/remove.
