How to find Power BI visualization ID

I have a table visualization in a Desktop report and want to run code on the table. How do I find the ID for table visualization (e.g. "Table1" or "Table2")?

    PhilipTreacy selimovd Thanks guys for your help! I have worked around my problem so no longer need to identify the visualization table. 

     

    That said, it would nonetheless be interesting to round off this thread to know how one can find visualization IDs!

     

    Regards

Thanks for your help and apologies for a poorly worded query!

 

I presume each visualization in a report has a unique ID.

 

I have an ordinary table visualization and I want to apply a single slicer for all the columns. I have seen the solution Single slicer for all columns  and want to create an equivalent measure. As far as I can understand I need the ID of the visualization table (i.e. not the ID of the underlying dataset table) to create that measure.

Technically the vizualisations have IDs. But you can't address them with measure and you don't have to.

You write measures and the desired result will be evaluated based on the filter context (filter, slicers and the values in a row or column in a table).

 

Maybe describe your desired outcome a little more detailed and what you want to do, then I can try to help you.
