How to allow users to select parameters and change the metric in a report

Hello,

 

I'm looking for a simple solution to allow my users to customize the dahsboard I have created and published by enabling parameters in the reports in a similar way you can do in Tableau. I haven't been able to find out any non-workaroundish solution to achieve this.

 

Simple example would be to allow users to change data metric in a table. Eg. a radio button to select if the table shows either work hour / work day / some monetary information. This data is included in different columns in the data set.

hi  @janihenr 

There are two workaround to achieve your requirement:

1. Use Switching Function in dax, please see more details as below:

Dynamically change the information within a visual via a slicer

2. use bookmark to create different information report and use botton to switch them.

Hi,

 

Thanks!

 

Tried 1. Easily doable. Only thing worries me is that this solution seems to be quite power hungry. Now UI gets stuck even though I only have a couple of thousands rows of data.

 

Perhaps will try the second solution as well if I'm not able to figure out perofrmance issue. 

 

Best,
Jani
