    For those who have the updated PowerBI version here is what you need to do in order to see the visualization in the order that is shown in this video:
    Go to the three dots on the frame of the visualization -> Price -> Sort Descending and unmark the Sort Legend. Now it is ordered correctly.
    On why it writes "Sum of Price", it's probably because of an Update for PowerBI Desktop Version, For that you can just rename it :"Price" on the field itself. It has the same data.

    I really see the value of using drill down--saves time and space (don't have to do as many separate visualizations). As always, THANK YOU ALEX!

    It is easy for data analysts to control the drill down but business users always gets confused about it.

    Nice but shallow. I would like to see more complex things. Like grid with few aggregations (eg. 3 cols) and drill down to show all unique details under it (eg. 10 cols).

    1:52 Hey Alex Sir, In my case whenever I drag down "Product" option in x-axis, it is by default drilled down even though I've tried to do it multiple times.... Is it because of the updated version of Power Bi that I've installed from Microsoft Store or it could be something else?? Please help

    I find people do NOT want to drill down. They rather want a tab at each level where they have filters they can set that vary by level. When I do drill down, people always say, can you just make that level as a tab where I can have controls at that level. Total, sub total, then sub sub total, it always seems better than drilling into the different levels. The key is, the filters change at the lower levels and you simply gain more filters. This seems to be WAY more intuitive and I never get requests for drill when people see the levels on tabs. If the records are not massive, I can have the last tab be full detail so people can do anything on their own in some other tool with the raw data.

    Hi Alex, you said in one of your videos about the importance of recruiters if you are in the middle of nowhere and looking for a job, the problem I have is that I am not a US citizen. Almost every job response that I get is that they can't hire noncitizens, what should I do, and are there recruiters for the global job seeker?

      So Im not sure it can be called a fix but the graph is now working as intended so I'll roll with it. What I did was switch to the vertical bars version, in the X axis I turned on Concatenate labels, switched back to horizontal bars and now it was only showing the order ID when going down one level

    Can drill down be applied to other tables? For example. in this video the Apocalypse Sales and Purchase Tracker tables don't have any relationship, I want to drill down for Units Sold in each product for each store the the Units Sold column is in another table. Does drill down can still be applied even if the next level is on the other table and the first level is on another different table?
