Conditional drill through based on Slicer filters

[vickyd]

It seems like conditional drill through works if the items being selected are in charts or matrix or table visuals but not when the selected items are in a slicer. 

For example, the "Go" button here is setup to enable drillthrough when Manufacturer and Store are selected in the bar charts above. The "Go" button correctly gets enabled when we select a Manufacturer and Store. 

However, if I convert the 2 charts to slicers, the "Go" button does not get enabled even though the measure value is exactly the same. Is that some kind of limitation of the drillthrough feature?

Is there a way to achieve what I am looking for i.e. enable drillthrough based on specific slicer selections?

Hi @vickyd ,

The drill troughs are used for visualizations to get detail of the values you are seeing, altough slicers are visualizations in fact they serve has filters and do not work in the same way has the other visualizations.

In this case the best option is to use the sync slicer option with a page navigation button.

Thanks for your inputs. That is certainly a valid alternative and I was able to get it to work.
