How to navigate to another tab by clicking on one column chart?

[Esbee]

Hello,

Ik have a column chart in a page of my PowerBI report. This responds to some slicers, and that's the reason why the number of columns and which columns are presented are changing.

What I want is that by clicking (once or double?) on a column in the visual another tab opens with more information about dat specific item. Otherwise colleages have to filter in the other tab the specific item again. Not very user friendly 😉

I tried to do something with the analyze function and making measures, but it doesn't work. 

I have to say that the report is based on an Excel import and the values on the x- and y-axis are at this moment not measures.

Hopefully someone can help me 🙂

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Stéphanie

Hi @Esbee, if your only issue is absence of seleced filters on another report page, simply copy required filters from intial page, then copy them to a result page. PowerBI will automatically ask if you want to syncronyze them:

When filters are syncronyzed a selection from the intial page will be immediatelly reflected at the result page as well.

You can access syncronyzation panel from here:

Good luck! 🙂

Thank you very much for your answer. This is always a good option and I nice trick, but the downdrill option is what I exactly needed... 🙂

Hi @Esbee 

You can use Drill through. You can learn more about it here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-drillthrough

You create a hidden tab with what you want to see. When you right click on a bar in the chart, the drill through option appears and you choose the tab you created. The Drill through will take all filters that are set on the tab you are drilling from.

Thanks

Hi @JoeBarry 

This is what I needed. I forgot to include the variable in the destination tab. Now I also add a drill through button to make it more easy.

But... It would be perfect when in de destination tab with the detail information people can also use the slicers to select another item (in stead of the filter menu on the right of the canvas). Do you know if that's possible? Otherwise the have to navigate back to the main page every time or use the filter menu, wich is not that easy to find for PowerBI 'dummies'...

I haven't really had a use case like that before, but why not add the Slicers you have in the Source page to the Drill through page. They will filter on top of what the Drill through has already filtered.

I managed to add a slicer without any drill trough fields. Problem solved.

Thanks for your help!
