PowerBi development - Visual level filters

aricossa — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 15:51:25 GMT

Goodmorning,

We are developing a powerbi custom visual to represent a organization department structures using a tree view. We have a lot of root nodes and we would like to show initially only those nodes.

We use a Telerik Kendo UI diagram javascript object to draw those nodes.

When user click on nodes we would like to drill down on that node. We create a data role to contain the hierarchy.

We think we need to filter the data with the selected node and to drill down but we cannot achieve that.

We notice that the stock visual Treemap apply filters on drilled nodes. We would like to replicate this!

Thanks

I'm not sure that get the requirement well.

Do you want to filter other visuals on report page after selecting any node on your custom visual?

Hi Ignat,

Thanks for your reply.

We would like to add a filter to our visual and then call the drill down event.

We know how to represent the data we receive using a javascript component like D3 or Telerik. After that, when the user click on an element we would like to do something, for example to filter on the data the user select and to drill down.

Hi @aricossa

To achieve the goals please visit the official documentation for Drill Down and Selection API and Advanced Filter API.
