Adding fields to "Show Data Point as Table" data & saving the resulting table

Hello,

 

Is it possible to save fields that you add on the table that is created when "show data point as a table" is chosen? I am able to add them (through the visualization option - see picture) but when I click to go back to report (after i modify my table and export it) and then do it again, the fields I added are gone.

I'm hoping to add a little more detail to those tables when users look deeper into the data without them having to modify it everytime.

 

Thanks!

Hi, @ElioAngarita 

 

I reproduced your scene and found that it indeed can't be saved. I think it is by design and can't change.

I recommend you to use the drill through function, it can almost achieve the same effect.

Check it:

Set up drillthrough in Power BI reports - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

You need to put a table visual in the drillthrough page, and then add these fields to the visual.

'Drill through' will automatically drill to the data point of the data point you selected.

Your suggestion was solved my issue and my requirement 100%! Thank you so much! Now with the drillthrough I'll be able to customize what i want to show and make it even more dynamic.

 

Thank you again,
