Hi @Youssef_Jaballi,

 

Based on my understanding, you want to click one data point in a visual, then pass this data point value to filter another visual or report, and display it, right?

 

Currently, it's not supported to drill through to another report and pass parameter to filter it. What we can do now is only drill down to detail information in one visual like this: Drill down in a visualization in Power BI. Or create a drill through action in Power BI Service dashboard tile without passing parameter to filter target visual or report, See: Add a hyperlink to a dashboard tile.

 

Also someone already posted the same requirement in idea forum, you can vote or comment on it, see: PowerBI Reports.

 

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Hi-- I believe you can see the underlying information of a data point in a graph if you right click on the data point and select 'see records'.

You can export the data from a tile into excel and create a new PBI report if you wish. Much of this kind of functionality is described in the PBI website, which I would encourage you to explore. It's a great resource!
