One click navigation for new card visual

[win_me99]

Hi Everyone,

I have a new card visual where different cards are there. I would like to go the next page on just a click of left side of the mouse. How do I achieve this?

TIA.

Hi @win_me99 ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.

Hi @MFelix , Thank you for your prompt response.

Hi @win_me99 , In addition to @MFelix response, I have added the step by step process to achieve the output. 

Use a Transparent Button Over the Card:

Power BI doesn't allow direct page navigation from a card visual itself, but you can overlay a transparent button on top of the card to simulate one-click navigation.

Please follow below steps.

1. Create your card visual on the report page. Go to Insert --> Buttons --> Choose Blank. Resize and place the button exactly over the card.

2. With the button selected, go to the Visualizations pane, Turn Action to On. Set Type to Page navigation. Choose the destination page.

3. In the Style section, Set Fill to "OFF" and Set Outline to "OFF".

Note: when you click the card (transparent button), it will be taken to the desired page.

Please refer output snap and attached PBIX file.

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.

Regards,

Dinesh

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for taking time to reply.

But I need to pass a paramter when clicking a card and in the page where the click navigates needs to be filtered based on the parameter clicked by the user. Can this be achieved?

Hi @win_me99 ,

Thank you for the update. 

Yes, you can do one-click card navigation with filtering in Power BI, but you will need to use drillthrough instead of page navigation, because page navigation buttons don’t support passing parameters/filters.

Please follow below steps.

1. Create the destination page, Add the visuals you want. In the Drillthrough filters pane (on the right), drag the field you want to use as a parameter like CustomerName, Category, Team, etc. Enable Keep all filters if you want other filters to flow through as well.

2. Set up the card page (source page), Instead of a button overlay, use the card itself as the drillthrough source. Right-clicking a card value -->“Drillthrough --> DestinationPage” will now take you to the filtered page.

3. Make it one-click instead of right-click, Power BI recently added Drillthrough as a button action instead of page navigation.

Go to Insert --> Buttons --> Blank button --> In Action, choose Drillthrough. Select the target page and the parameter field. Place this button on top of your card and make it transparent. When the user clicks, it will pass the card’s value as a filter and open the page.

Note: page navigation cannot pass parameters, to pass a parameter like filter context, you must use drillthrough.

Hi @win_me99 ,

You cannot do this directly since the New cards visuals don't accept actions, that options is still on the roadmap but not yet done (check this link: Core Visuals Road Map)

I assume that your cards are always the same and not dynamic in terms of categories, what I suggest is that you apply a page navigation toolbar on top of your cards with the text option turn off this will allow you to get the navigation trough the card visuals.

You just need to setup the page navigation buttons in terms of size to be the same has the cards, but is just a simple formatting option.

can we achieve the same with any other visual?

Hi @win_me99 ,

There is no custom visual that allows to have both the card visual and the action option.
