Whenever I see an aggregated metric (e.g., $483,572 in sales) - in, say, a column in a chart or a cell in a matrix - I should be able not only to drill down to a next level of detail, but to "drill to details" - all the way down to the individual rows of data (e.g., the individual sales orders) that make up that value.

Thanks for all the feedback. We just released the April version of Power BI desktop, including new drill functionality. You can drill into a particular column in a chart and see the records behind that part of the visual. For more info on this feature and other features in our latest release, check out this blog post: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-april-update-feature-summary/

This would also need to come with the ability to restrict the user from doing such drill downs, in cases where there might be data security/privacy restrictions.

RE: Drill to details (view row-level data)

kind of related would be very useful to be able to click any cell value and open a new temporary report page filtered for that specific context allowing for a drill down analysis . this one time drill page could then be dropped or saved in the report, without changing any existing page
