Automatically refreshing filters when using drillthrough

[altchung]

Hi All,

I am using the drill through function on a map, which enables users to drill through to a table which contains more detailed data.  On this page, there are filters to filter the data.  When a filter is applied, and I go back to the map to drill through another area, the filter previously used remains enabled.  

So, my question is if there is a way to refresh all data from a drill through.

Many thanks,

A

Hi @altchung ,

As far as I know, there is no built-in solution. Your method can be used as an alternative. In addition, you can put forward ideas here to attract the attention of power bi.

Hi @altchung ,

How you are navigating back to the map ? are you using bookmarks or are you using any other way ?

Hi @Jaideepnema,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried to use bookmarks, but it doesn't work for this application.

The application is the following.  I have a map and users can drill through to get more details about a town.  Example, user decides to drill through Melbourne from the map.  This takes them to a table that shows a list of all the suburbs in Melbourne separated into those that are located north or south of the city.  Users can then filter to see the north or south suburbs.  Let's say user filters for north.  Then the user goes back to the map and this time wants to see the list of towns in Geneva and drills through.  The filter for the table is still set to "north" as this was the last selection.  It would be good for the filters to be cleared once the user navigates away from the page.  My last resort is to put a note to remind users to clear the filters if there is no built in solution.
