    Hi CA,

    1. Yes, a dashboard is more of a high level view of something specific that you want to monitor. So the information can be monitored at a glance. If you want to see more details about report, you need to drill down. Please review this article: Dashbord vs report.

    2. I guess you create a table review rather than table visual. You need to use a table visual, It work fine as I tested. I create a table visual and Doughnut visual as follows.



    When I click Math, it filter and return correspond row, when I click the link in table, it still work fine.



    3. Please use table visual. If you still have the probem, you'd better share your .pbix file for further analysis.

    Thanks,
    Angelia

    Thanks. Apparently all those issues were caused because I was using Table Preview instead of the previous Table version. The Dashboard vs Report view also helped cleared up the first question. Thanks, and much appreciated!
