Automatic drill down based on the slicer slicer selection to Next level

[Naveen_BN]

Hello Everyone,

I have a requirements, automatic drill down to next level based on the slicer selection or the visual should change based on the slicer selection

Slicers:- Region, District, Territory.

When user select the specific region in slicer, user should get the all the districts data in column chart and table.

Next level, When user selects the specific district in slicer , user should get all the territory data in column chart and table.

Do we have any options to get by Unioning the columns in the table or any other options.

Thanks in advance.

Hi , @Naveen_BN 

You can try to use "Fied Parameter" and update the "NAMEOF" in it. Then you can select the one level in the slicer , then show the next level you want in your visual.

This is my test data :

We can create a "Field Parameter" :

Then we can update the "Name of" according to our need :

Hi Aniya Zhang,

This works on the hierrachy level, if i select particular district. It should drill down to next level based on the specific district selection..

Thank you

@Naveen_BN , Check if field parameter can help

Power BI Field Parameters- Measure Slicer and Axis/Dimension slicer: https://youtu.be/lqF3Wa1FllE

But in case you select a region say R1 then you want axis to be on the next level, I doubt that is possible.

Hi, a bit late to the party here, but I've just discovered that you CAN get the axis to change based on selection.

Create a measure in your Parameter table that returns True or False per dimension in the parameter, based on what's available in the current selections, e.g.:

Hub/Country Choice = IF(HASONEVALUE(Regions[Hub]),
    SELECTEDVALUE('Hub/Country'[Hub/Country Fields]) = "'Regions'[Country]", // returns True for Country field when a single Hub is selected
    SELECTEDVALUE('Hub/Country'[Hub/Country Fields]) = "'Regions'[Hub]" // returns True for Hub field if multiple Hubs are available
)

In the above example, I have a two-tier setup, with many Countries belonging to a single Hub. The above code will return True for only one of the two fields, depending on whether or not there is a single Hub available in the current selection. For multiple tiers, you can use multiple IFs or a SWITCH(TRUE(), ...) construction.

The final part of the solution is to add the [Hub/Country Fields] column to the filter pane. You may need to unhide this field via the table view. Then, make it a Top 1 filter by the measure you created, like so:

This way, since True is ranked above False, the one field that is chosen by your measure will be the one that the chart uses to display your data.

I hope this helps!

Hi Amith,

Thanks for the feed back. Am looking for the next level axis.
