Popup visual not scrolling properly after blocking row selection in Power BI



Hi Community,

I’ve created a popup visual in my Power BI report to display detailed transaction information for each item. The popup is triggered by a button — when a user selects a row in a matrix and clicks the button, a table visual appears showing the related details.

However, I’m facing an issue: when users click on any row inside the popup table, all rows get highlighted instead of just the selected ones. To prevent this, I disabled visual interactions for the popup visual and added a transparent shape over it, so users can’t directly select rows.

This workaround works, but it has created another problem — the popup table no longer scrolls properly. When trying to scroll, the entire report page moves instead of the popup table itself. The only way to scroll is by manually dragging the scrollbar at the edge, which isn’t user-friendly.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or found a better way to disable row selection in a popup visual without breaking the scroll functionality? Any suggestions or design alternatives would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance for your help!
