Power BI button based on selection

I have a BI report of expenses by countries.

I have come up with a first sheet as an Overview, where there is a map with the countries already coloured based on their longitude and latitude, and the relation created.

I have already managed to drill through, but I want to create a button above the map, where based on the selected country, the button changes and when you click on it, it takes you to the sheet of that country.

I have tried to do it with a measure that varies depending on the country: Selected_Country = SELECTEDVALUE(Locations[Country])


The measure goes but I can't get the button to be based on the measure or on the selection, and I wanted to know if it is possible and how to do it.

 

Thanks!

Hi @AndoniA 

If I understood you correctly you want to go from a visual point to the filtered by the selected point page it is possible only with a drill-through

if you want to have a button to drill through you can achieve it , please take a look at the linked tutorial:

Other options to navigate among the pages are page navigator and bookmarks, but it cant work from the visual directly

more information about these options on the linked document:
