Can separate Layouts be connected like Relationships?
Hi Forum,
I have a lot of tables in mt report and to make it easier to view, I had this idea to break them up into separate Layouts.
I want to know if it is possible to then join these separate Layouts together?
If so, how is this done?
Thanks.
Anonymous , If by joining layout (visuals) you mean scrolling together, then it is not possible.
If you simply want to group visuals, that is possible.
If by layout you mean data tables, you can join them with common dimensions and analyze them.

Hello,amitchandak ,thanks for your concern about this issue.
Your answer is excellent!
And I would like to share some additional solutions below.Hi,Anonymous .I am glad to help you.
According to your description, you currently have a lot of tables in your report in desktop, and now you want to categorize these tables into different layouts, and you want to know if it is possible to link the layouts together like a table relationship, so that it is easy to manage.
If my understanding is correct, I hope the following suggestions will help you.
If the connection layout you describe is not the way I understand it, could you please elaborate a bit more on what you need, preferably with some screenshots or a PBIX file that doesn't contain sensitive data, which would help to solve your problem.In Power BI, while you can create and manage multiple visual objects on multiple pages, the layouts between pages do not directly create relationships like tables in a model. However, you can create navigation buttons or use bookmarks (in conjunction) to jump between different page layouts, thus "connecting" the layouts to some extent.
By creating jump buttons and bookmarks, you can save a state of a page and jump to it when a button is pressed on another page to navigate to that page, etc., to achieve a similar relationship filtering effect.
Here is the documentation and article about it, hope it can help you.URL:
