Why do I see "No drill fields" when trying to drill from a visualization?

Possible reasons:

• If the associated measure(s) don't have defined drill_fields parameters, there are no drill fields available.
• Check the dimensions in the visualization to see if they use can_filter: no, this will kill drilling for any measure it is used with.
• If the measure uses html, this will override linking. A workaround can be found in https://community.looker.com/lookml-5/maintaining-drill-paths-for-custom-html-fields-6623
• Check if the visualization was built on a table calculation rather than a measure.
