More Info Button

Hi, 

 

In below table,last column shows the summary which is a big paragraph for every contract.

Is there any way , I can show only first line of paragraph & than give a More Info+ button to see the rest of the summary.

If not More Info+ button than, at least a simple maximize minimize button, if the user wants to see he will open that.

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regards,

Ashraf

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    You can create a what-if parameter table like below.

    Next, create a measure like below that will enable you to switch between both states and manipulate the length of the string 

    Product Description = 
VAR __productDescription = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Product'[ProductDescription] )
RETURN 
SWITCH(
    SELECTEDVALUE( showHideProductDesc[showHideProductDesc] ),
    0, LEFT( __productDescription, 10 ) & "...",
    1, __productDescription
)

     Finally, add the measure to the table and use the slider to switch between the options, as below.

    FullShort

     

    Best Regards,
    Mariusz

      Mariusz  What u mean by "what-if parameter table " , we can just create a parameter not table.

       

      Request you to please describe.

       

      Thanks...

    Anonymous in past I create two table visuals, one on the top without big paragraph and 2nd table visual on the same page with paragraph column, so when users select a row in a top table visual, it will show paragraph at the bottom, it is much cleaner look (in my opinion), and you can hide paragraph table visual and only show when a row in a top table visual is selected, you can use this technique to hide 2nd table visual.

     

    Just an idea.
