Display detail Table when we click on any of the Bar in Bar graph

[suyogbi]

Hi All,

I have requirement where i need to show 2 visuals in page

1. Bar graph which shows summary sales by category

2. Once User clicks on any of the BAR in above visual then detail table should appear with filtered data for selected category.

Example: If user clicks on BIKES in above visual then below table should appear in page.

NOTE: The detail table should appear only if user click on any of the BAR in first visual else it should not appear in page. 

is it possible to achieve this functionality? or any work arround?

Please Help

TIA

Suyog

Hi @suyogbi ,

There are 2 ways I can think of for achieving this:

• You can try to create a custom tooltip in Power BI. So when the user hovers over the bar chart - Bike bar; they will see the table related to Bike. Details on custom tooltips can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-tooltips
• Another way could be add some kind of hack in the report page but this will need some space on the report page. So, if you click on one of the bars in your chart, then a table will be displayed in a designated area on your report page, but it will empty of a message can be displayed until anything is selected in the bar chart. A similar approach can be found in one of my blog: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Display-Custom-Message-in-the-Visual-Until-a-Selecti...

Hi, @suyogbi 

Try to create a measure like below, then show items when the value is 1 in the filter pane

isFilterd =
VAR _total =
    CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'financials'[Product] ), ALL ( financials ) )
VAR _current =
    CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( financials[Product] ), ALLSELECTED ( financials ) )
VAR _if =
    IF ( _current <> _total, 1 )
RETURN
    _if

 so the result will be like this:

Please refer to the attachment below for details

Hope this helps.
