Power Bi Support needed

Hello, I have two questions. 

 

Question 1: 

I have a Floorplan in Visio Visual with different layers. Once the layer with the shapes printer, once the layer with the shapes Access Points and the layer with the Wifi. A grid was placed over the floorplan using shapes over the entire layers to make it easier to find the location. The shapes in the layers were also linked to the data from Excel.

I would like to transfer this to Power Bi and from there, depending on the click, I would like to have a Slicer with only the desired device shown. The problem is when I click on an area in the image, it only shows me the data of the desired device, when I click the other way around in the table, nothing happens on the floorplan. The data in the "Sheet1" table was retrieved from an Excel workbook, while the data in the "Layers" table was newly created in Power Bi. A connection has been established between these two tabels.

Is it even possible to create an interaction with the Visio file in which, for example, other layers can be hidden and zoomed in on a device? An interaction between image and slicer, tables etc. is supposed to happen.

 

Question 2:

Is it possible to dynamically switch between many floorpans in Power Bi? Example I click on "Printer 1" and Building 10 appears, but when I click on "Printer 2" then Building 5 appears and all on one page?

Hi, @Rona_ba1 

 

Regarding the first question, you can create different views (or states) of a Visio diagram by bookmarking them in Power BI. Each bookmark can represent a different layer or area of focus for a Visio diagram. These bookmarks can then be linked to buttons or images in Power BI, allowing users to switch between different views of the Visio diagram. For more details about bookmarks, please refer to the links below:

Make sure that the slicer is properly configured to interact with Visio Visual. This typically involves setting up a slicer to filter the data based on the selection, which in turn affects what appears in the Visio visual.

 

Regarding the second question, by using the same principle of bookmarks and slicers described above, it is possible to switch between different floor plans based on the slicer selection. You can create different visuals for each floor plan, and then dynamically switch between them using slicers or buttons linked to bookmarks.
