Is it possible to have a current selection field name display?

Hi all,

 

I'm Newbie to PowerBI

 

I'm facing an issue while getting the drill down.+

 

Below Image is my landing screen.

For next level of drill down I'm going to select "Before and After School" in the Y axis.

In my drill down it would be "Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly". So while in drill down the name of the Workarea has been not visible.

Is there any possible way to show the Name("Before and After School) in Y axis?

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

Regards,

Prathap S

You should be able to write a measure using HASONFILTER and probably VALUES on the field at the highest level of your hierarchy and display it using a card visualization above or to the right of your bar chart. Perhaps something like:

 

IF (HASONEFILTER([field]),VALUES([field]),"")

something along those lines.

Yes, I tried Folk double arrow but it doesn't meet my requirement. Is it possible to have a  Text object(i.e Qlikview have this functionality) where i can write some expression to bring the data. is there any functionality available in Power BI ?

 

Thanks,

Hi smoupre,

 

Cool your expression works fine for one of my requirement. Really grateful.

But if I turn on the Drill down icon and after clicking the chart 

 

Screenshot_2.png

I selected the Bar of "Kindergarten" but drill down to next "Year-Wise" after then "Quarter-wise" but you can see the Lable Name has been changed to my default value which gave.

 

While drilling down also "Kindergarten" to display while selecting the drill down option.

 

Could you please assist me in this.

 

Thanks,

Prathap S

 

 

Hmm, how about something like:

 

IF (HASONEFILTER([field]),VALUES([field]),IF(HASONEFILTER([quarter]),VALUES([quarter]),""))

Just next repeatedly for as many levels in your hierarchy.

I'm a newbie to powerBI just now started to work. It would be great if you help me out this thing.

 

It would be great if you share any sample/ Document regarding this. Or any tutorial video url
