Drill-down support in Databricks SQL (Lakeview) Dashboards

vamsi_simbus — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:37:28 GMT

Hi All,

Does Databricks SQL (Lakeview) Dashboards support native drill-down functionality (for example: Category → Subcategory → SKU)?

Currently, we see support for cross-filtering, parameters, and drill-through within the same dataset, but hierarchical drill paths seem limited compared to traditional BI tools.

Would like to understand:

Current best practices to implement drill-down
Known limitations
Any roadmap for enhanced drill-down capabilities

Thanks in advance!

No support for native hierarchical drill-down. Best practice would be to Drill-through pages, Schema modeling or an Optional BI tool. Check out the below resources:
