Overview

Drill through in Power BI is a powerful feature that allows users to create focused reports and visuals, providing detailed information about specific data points. It allows users to navigate from a summary view to a more detailed view. Drill through keeps the context of the data point selected in the main report. If you select a specific bar in a bar chart, the drill through report will show details relevant to that bar only. Follow the steps mentioned below to perform a cross report drill-through
