Feasability with Power BI
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the feasibility of a dashboard report builder ( Need to download into PDF )
So, my client would like to have something like this in his report
1 ( orange box) : Is it possible to build a timeline like the one presented in this picture, I thought about using report builder and have under each year all the months. For each month I'll have a status that I'll switch to an icon using conditional formatting. In theory this seems to be good but I would like to have your opinion.
2 (purpule box) : the client would like to be taken to another summary page of the project when clicking on the link. This summary page have the same stucture for all the projects, so what needs to be changed is the header each time and the information within the table. Is there a way to do this ?
Thank you very much for your help,
It's deeply appreciated,
Mariem
For question 1, the closest thing you can create as a timeline in Power BI is through a Gantt chart (import it through the marketplace) and they have limited options of customization. There might be a workaround using a table visual but you would need to customize your data.
For question 2, it is possible through custom buttons, bookmarks and/or drillthrough buttons.
Having everything in one single table may not be possible, since data to work as links in a table needs to have a URL behind it and categorized as URL type.
Power Apps could be explored to get what you want as well.
