    Ok, yep this is frustrating.  You aren't able to use filters on the dashboard.  There are three options here ...

     

    1. Pin your report to the dashboard using the "Pin Live Page" option and include a slicer on the report
    2. Teach your users how to drill through from the dashboard to the report
    3. Provide your users with the URL for the report instead of the dashboard - when they click they'll go straight to the report

    2 & 3 are two versions of the same solution - "get your users to the report" - and even in these options it might be a good idea to include a slicer on the report instead of using the page level filter.  Let me know if this makes sense.

     

    My guess is that eventually we will see filtering available at the dashboard level .. LINK TO POWER BI IDEAS

Hello,

 

I am very new to Power BI and am now at the stage of sending out some reports.  I am not sure how to drill down from the Dashboard to the Report.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

BrentL - you simply click on the chart on the dashboard and it should take you to the report page that chart is located on. You must first pin your charts to a dashboard though. Hope that helps. :)
