    Hi Back2Basics,

    Yes, we are unable to use drill down on dashboard without going to the report. You can create reports over your data model using the tables, columns and visualisation tools. You can't create a dashboard this way. You can pin individual visualisations from a report into a dashboard. whic  like a cockpit of individual visualisations and/or whole reports. Dashboards can have multiple tiles from different reports and different datamodels. You can see the difference dsahbord and report here.

    Thanks,
    Angelia

Thanks v-huizhn-msft

 

I think I understand the differences between the two, I was just hoping to create a 'dashboard' that would have the data collapsed and then users could drill down if necessary. It isn't too much of a problem but if a shame for a visualisation such as the Matrix Preview, as that is beauty of its functionality. I might put this on the ideas board as an 'improvement; for the Matrix Preview.

 

thanks again

Hi

 

I am creating a dashboard that has several views using the new Matrix Preview vis. The drilldown options work great in the report when using Power BI Desktop, but when I publish and pin to a dashboard the drilldown options and expand data table options are lost. Is there a way to use these when sharing a dashboard, or would people have to do this by using the report view??
