The Drill Through functionality in Power BI is available on Right Click (or a button). In today's world, we are so used to click on URLs with single click activation; it's becoming the standard in most modern interfaces. It's just more intuitive!


Hence, One Click Drill Through feature should be added to Power BI to improve user experience (UI and UX). When a single drill through destination is available, let the report designer decides if it's more relevant to activate cross-filtering or one-click-drill-through.


Thank you

RE: One Click Drill Through

Personally, I would prefer "drill-through 2x-click", but a way to avoid users to right-click (which is not intiutive for many of our users) would be super nice!

RE: One Click Drill Through

This would be an amazing improvment. Having to right click to drill through is a dated approach and deviates from seemless interations avalailable on a powerbi dashboard. this functionality would be perfect on cards! personally, customers have had difficulty navigating to drill through pages because of the right click approach. It seems like a such a small thing that could have a great impact on the user experience.

RE: One Click Drill Through

I would love to see this feature. Another possible way to implement it would be to allow a drill-through to be an option available under "Conditional Formatting" for a field in a similar way to "Web URL". That would allow for cross filtering and one-click drill-through on the same row.
