Comparing 2 or more Columns in Bar Chart with Drillthrough

Hi there.

 

I've got a bar chart with different properties, their electricity usage, as well as the cost. See below:

 

MannyJ_0-1684232958523.png

I would like to create a drillthrough page whereby I can select 2 (or more) bars and then drillthrough to another page which would show the two properties selected in 2 separate bar charts identical to the one above but with days on the x axis instead of property. It could also work if it was 1 chart with the 2 selected properties on it and grouped by day/month.

 

Can anyone help with how I can do this?

Hi , @MannyJ 

According to your description, you want to select muti-property and then drill through.

For the initial Drill Through, it supports us to select a single, so the only way at present is to use Card visual as the button of Drill Through.

We can create a measure to put in the card:

Measure = IF( ISFILTERED('Table'[Property]) , "drill through" , "You can select")

Then we can create another page we want to drill through and put the field and the measure on the "Drill through":

Then we can select muti-property and then right click the card visual :

The result is as follows:

Hi @v-yueyunzh-msft is there a way that when the two properties are selected and it goes to the drill down page, the cost that is being displayed is also split between the two properties (maybe 2 cost lines for each property or maybe an indication in the tooltips)?

Thank you so much for your help Aniya! This is brilliant. This will certainly be a great solution! Stay blessed!

Hi , @MannyJ 

Thanks for your quick response! And i test it in my side , it seems difficult to set the line to more lines in this viusal . And you can try to use the tooltip page feature.

Create report tooltip pages in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

You can create a page as tooltipPage:

Then you can set it to the visual:
