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.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

I can't add more than is already here, but yes, this is very much needed!

RE: Drill Mode By Default

I agree that a default value should be set for this.. On mobile the route to toggle drill-down for each visualisation is stupidly verbose, so this would take care of that point.

With that said, I believe this should be set per visualisation, not for the page or report as a whole.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Please, include this feature. It would be very helpful to have one single setting for all the visuals instead of set the arrow one by one.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Agreed, with one caveout. There should be a setting for a tile in the dashboard which sets the behavior for click action on the tile. Does it
1. Drill down
2. Filter another visual on the same page
3. Hyperlink to a different page/dashboard (wishful)

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Here's why this is valuable . . .

Power BI is useful to share information with users who may not be highly sophisticated with either data or computers. They expect the application to behave in the same way each time they use it. If the last time they used a visual the drill down was enabled, they expect it to be enable the next time they use it. If it's not, they think the application is "broken" and they have less confidence in it. That's not good for them, it's not good for us as distributors of information, and it's not good for Microsoft. (Yeah, that last isn't my primary concern, but there MAY be people reading this who care more deeply about that.)

RE: Drill Mode By Default

MUCH NEEDED! When customers use the reporting they want to get down to detail information to understand what is behind the reporting. This detail helps them ask the next questions needed to make decisions or take action without having to do an interim step of determining the data that makes up the numbers and report.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Yes this is real need. Because end user don't always know how to enable drill down.
There should be some option to do it.
