Prevent Selected Visual Coming To Front

[FAY2020]

Hello,

I am trying to build a report with a table that takes up the entire width of the screen. The idea is that users can multi select from the table using Ctrl, and then show an embedded Power App which loads the selected rows for further processing. The Power App is shown using a bookmark.

The problem I have is that, as the user has just selected rows in the table, the table visual is selected, and so when the Power App is shown, the table remains on top, as is the Power BI behaviour. This means users would have to click off from the table to remove the focus and show the app. This will be confusing for the user journey.

I can't hide the table in the bookmark as this clears the selections made!

I'm aware of a method for linking shapes to a bookmark to keep them behind other visuals but tables don't have an Action property to achieve this. Does anyone know if this can be accomplished? I just need the table to fall behind the Power App even if it's selected.

Make two groups and this visal come on front will be resolved. view -> selection -Group

@FAY2020 The only thing I can think of would be to use Drillthrough to accomplish what you want but that will impact UX. One question, why not introduce a slicer at the top to select items in the table. Then you could have a button next to it that says "Apply" or something and that would kick the bookmark in. Since the slicer would be set, the rows would be correct in the PowerApp visual. Something to try anyway.

@FAY2020 , I tried move to back in the past. but the moment I click on the visual in will come in focus. So I think that is the default behavior. As bookmark is also not an option, I doubt their much options.

Drill-through is one option , but that means drill to another page
