Power BI Show/hide bookmark buttons based on selection

Hello,

 

I have a bar chart that displays all of my customers, by sales. When I select a customer from the bar chart, I would like to display a bookmark button that will take the user to a new page. I can accomplish this fine using the drill-down process, but my users are very computer illterate. How do I show a bookmark button based on a user selection?

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

Hi, @Anonymous 

According to your description, I think you can achieve this using measure and conditional format for icon color in Power BI to achieve this, you can try my steps:

  1. Create a measure:
Make_Transparent =

IF(hasoneFILTER('Table'[ID]),"Black","#FFFFFF00")
  1. Create a button and go to the icon set, then set like this:

  1. And you can get what you want, like this:

What’s more, you can also go to the action of the button and click here to set different page navigation for each user using the same method:

You can download my test pbix file here

 

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.

Reduce your requirement from "I need a bookmark button" to "I need a button".  And then reduce it again to "I need a hyperlink that may or may not look like a button".  Those are much easier to implement.

Hello,

 

   Thank you for the reply, but I do not understand your comment. When a user clicks on any-one of the bars in my bar chart, I would like a button to become visible.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter
