How to pass the click of an attribute as a parameter in our Power BI report to a web application?

Hi All,

I am new to Power BI so pardon if this query comes off as a pretty basic one.

We need to redirect the click of an attribute in our Power BI report to a web application with the clicked attribute being passed as a parameter to the target web application.

Is this feasible in Power BI? Please share your thoughts on this.
Any pointers on this would be of great help!

Thank you in advance!!

Ok. Apologies for not being elaborative enough while posting the question.

We have a power BI report in power BI services with a table visual. An attribute in this visual should be made clickable and on click action should redirect the control to our web application in a new browser window. Also the attribute, clicked on, should be passed onto the web application as a parameter.

The data we are representing in our report is from the same application's database. We are trying to build an use case where the user can move seamlessly between the power BI report and the web application. When an user wants to check on the details of an attribute instance in the web application, she should be allowed to do so.

Hope i have been succinct here.

hi  @Madhumitha_V 

To my knowledge, it could not achieve in power bi for now. you could not pass a parameter to an APP.

for your case, I think you may try to use drill through in power bi to get it.
