Power BI Desktop 'Drill-Through' with 'Map'

[sohananahid]

Hi: Good day! I have a detailed info page with a drill-through field, 'Priority' (values are 1-5). I am trying to link this to a Bubble Map from where clicking a point in the map, I am trying to go to that detailed info page. I have "Max of Priority' as te "Size"  in the Map. I have 2 issues:

1. can't use just the value of 'Priority' as "Size" in the Map [allows only min, max, avg, sum, etc...]
2. When I righ-click on certain bubble on the Map, can't see the 'Drill Through' option [as can see from other visuals]. Isn't drill-through possible in Map? 

Much appreciated in advance! 🙂

How do I get someone to help me with this? I still haven't received a reply.

I'm having an issue with the latest Map available in PBI and setting up the drill thru. In the first screenshot you can see that the 'Right click to drill thru' is visible, but when I right click there isn't an option to select. 

As you can see I have the correct drill thru settings on the next page so, in theory, I should get a drill thru option. Is there something wrong with the latest map version in PBI?

Hi @sohananahid , 

We could dill-though with map by buit-in map(map or filled map). You need to add corresponding field in drillthough field in another page. In addition, I dind't find "a Bubble Map", could you please inform me in details(such as your sample, your map type and your expected output)?

Best Regards,

Hi @dax : Thanks for your prompt response! By bubble map, actually I meant the built-in  "Map" visual [sorry for the other name! 😉 ]. As shown in the below  screen shot: I am trying to see the drill-through option from my "Map" to select and go to the "...Detail" Page [has a matrix visual as in 2nd pic]. I can't see the "drill-through" option as I righ-click on a bubble in the Map.

1. Which field in Map [Location, Size, etc.] should have the "drill-through" field as defined in my detailed page [as shown in the 2nd pic I have 'Significance' as "drill-through" field]?

 2. in Map, in "Size" field I can't use 'Significance' as the numerical value [1,2, 3, ...5] by itself, it allows only sum/average/min/max [that was my other question!]

Thanks. 🙂

Hi @dax : Actually I now can see the "Drill-through" option  after I use the "Location" field in the Map as the "Drill-Through" field in my ...Detail page!!  Thanks a lot for your help! 🙂
