Drill Down from table into JSON content within a cell in Power BI Desktop

Hi,

 

I pull a table "conversations" from my Azure Table Storage that has a column Messages that contains a list of messages as JSON string:

I would now like to have a drill down from this table to a list of deserialized and rendered messages based on the column Content.Messages whenever a user clicks on a row.

 

How can I achieve this?

 

Thanks

Philipp

@grillphil,

Do you mean that if you click on the row in the above table, it would redirect you to another table listing messages? If so, please use the drill through feature in Power BI Desktop.

However, if you want to use drill down feature as described in this article, please create Matrix visual instead, the drill-down feature is not available in table visual.

Regards,
Lydia
