🎯 Creating Drill-Through Pages Like a Pro in Power BI

 Drill-through pages in Power BI allow users to right-click a data point and navigate to a focused report page—filtering the view based on the selected value.

Perfect for deep dives 🔎, especially in dashboards that track performance by product, region, or customer.


🔧 How to Create a Drill-Through Page

1️⃣ Create a New Page
📄 Add a new page → Rename it (e.g., "Customer Details")

2️⃣ Add a Drill-Through Field
🎯 Drag the column (e.g., Customer Name) into the Drill-through filters well

3️⃣ Design the Page
📊 Add visuals (tables, cards, charts) related to the drill-through field

4️⃣ Use a Back Button
🔙 Insert → Buttons → Back → Format for navigation


📍 Example

Main report: Sales by Customer
