Toggling between filter and drill down can be somewhat annoying once you know exactly what you want to do. What if you could single click a bar in a chart to filter the page for that value, or double click to drill to the next layer?

RE: Single click to filter, double click to drill down

I have been with BI products for 20 years.
I've worked with quite many now - either developing everyday or getting exposure to them. Fairly new to Powerbi, and already liking it.

Now, there are few things that MS should leverage/enhance. Some from Excel 'type' of functionality some just to keep up (if not bit hands down) the competing tools in the market...

That said, double click for drill through (especially if you have one and only detail/target tab/page... or even different report) is no brainer. Surprised that it's not already that way, so one vote from me as well.

Please do that, it would be very intuitive and very helpful to do it this way.

Os usuários do Excel já realizam isso intuitivamente.

This is something so simple yet could be so effective. Please consider implementing this!

RE: Single click to filter, double click to drill down

In my experience other BI products handle this differently. I was quite surprised and shocked Power BI makes something all users use so complex! Single click to select, double click to drill down is very intuitive (and most products work this way), so you got my vote.

Amen! If we really want M2s and M3s, etc. use the drill down feature, it HAS to be more intuitive!
