Matrix - "Show data point as table" not showing

Hey everyone,

I would need my Matrix visual to be "extended" by showing certain data points as table. But whenever I try to do that I'm not getting the "Show data point as table" option:

Any way I can do this, or other good alternative?

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Based on my test, if all the Values fields in a Matrix visual are columns from the tables, 'Show data point as a table' option is available when right-clicking a data point in the visual. But if a measure is in the visual as a Value field, 'Show data point as a table' option is not available. So you don't get this option probably because you have measures in it?

 

Anyway, creating another table next to it is a good idea. Or using a tooltip report page with a table or matrix visual in it is also an alternative option as Amit suggests.

 

Hope this helps.

@Anonymous , Not very clear. But you can use the report tooltip page if needed

Not really solving my problem since what I need is to display a large amount of information. I've decided to create another table next to it.

Nevertheless I would like to thank you for your help.
