Clickable Terms for Definitions

Hey bgreen ,
Currently Power BI does not currently support making text within a single table act as a clickable filter that hides all other rows within the same visual. You havealready implemented the best available solution: using two visuals one for selecting the term and another to show the filtered definition. This mimics a “click-to-show” behavior effectively and remains user-friendly.

What You Can Do Further:

• Two-table setup (as you originally had): Still the most straightforward and user-friendly solution. One table (terms) acts as a filter for the second (definitions).

• Use of bookmarks or slicers: Can simulate the “only show selected” effect, but they require external controls and do not provide the same intuitive click behavior within a table.

• Field Parameters (if using them): Only switch columns, not rows or row visibility based on clicks.

If you found this solution helpful, please consider accepting it and giving it a kudos (Like) it’s greatly appreciated and helps others find the solution more easily.
