ZoomCharts Drill Down Combo PRO: pricing, limits and alternatives
Drill Down Combo PRO combines column, line and area series in one chart with on-chart drill-down: click a column to go a level deeper, pan and zoom, and cross-filter other visuals without slicers. It is certified, comes with 30 days of free access to the paid features, and is then licensed by quote.

Certification and tenant notes
Microsoft-certified on the check date; version released 2026-10-22. (The ZoomCharts map visual is the exception in the family: not certified.)
Microsoft certifies visuals whose code it has reviewed and that make no external calls; certified visuals work in PowerPoint/PDF export and email subscriptions, and admins can restrict a tenant to certified visuals only (Microsoft Learn). To see whether your tenant allows it in the service, Desktop, exports and subscriptions, run the free custom visual tenant check.
When native Power BI is enough
Our take: Native column and line charts drill down through a hierarchy with the drill buttons and support two value axes. If readers are comfortable with the drill icons, native is enough; ZoomCharts is about a smoother click-to-drill experience on touch screens.
Closest built-in visual as of Nov 2026: Line, column and combo charts with small multiples (GA). Two value axes at most; drill-down via hierarchies; small multiples on most cartesian charts.

Generate a visual that does the part of ZoomCharts Drill Down Combo PRO you need
VizForge writes a Power BI custom visual from a plain-English brief and gives you the .pbiviz and its TypeScript source. The brief below is a starting point based on what ZoomCharts Drill Down Combo PRO is used for; edit it to match your report, then send it to the generator.

What it costs
One generated visual costs 1–5 credits, once. The smallest pack that covers it is the Starter Pack: $9.99 for 10 credits, which leaves room for a few refinements. No per-user or annual fee: the file is yours.
ZoomCharts Drill Down Combo PRO's vendor doesn't publish a per-user list price, so we don't estimate one.
Honest trade-offs
- Not Microsoft-certified: Power BI only shows certified custom visuals in PowerPoint/PDF exports and email subscriptions, and tenants that allow certified visuals only will block it unless an admin deploys it as an organizational visual.
- You own the .pbiviz and its TypeScript source, so there is no per-user licence and nothing expires; you also maintain it yourself when Power BI changes.
- Generated code handles the drill path you specify; it will not match years of ZoomCharts interaction polish on day one.
