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.

Yes, this functionality is needed! While power bi may be intuitive for the trained eye. Our end users are not always technically savvy and need every step spelled out or they would not know how to use the reports. If we were able to default to drill down mode it would eliminate the need to explain how to drill down. Which is how we use most of our reports at this time.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Please add this, it is not intuitive enough for end users to see where to turn this on themselves

Most of my clients wouldn't even see the down arrow let alone click on it if I didn't point it out to them. I need to be able to turn this on by default.

This needs to be defaultable, carrying from Desktop through service. As I am working on transitioning the company to 'insights' thinking, having to teach them multiple clicks for no appreciable reason is not working. We need this functionality like yesterday.
