Programmatically collect data form chart

Could someone please point me in the direction to do this.

 

I'm planning to have an embedded published BI graph inside a HTML/JavaScript web page.  I want the user to be able to drill down to see the data they are interested, for example, a column in a bar chart, or a segment in a pie chart etc. I then want them to right click,  get a popup menu, one of options being 'colllect data'.  I then must collect a list of unique identifiers for each of the items that make up that graphical element. (In a nice json structure.) 

 

I (hopefully) can do the clicking routines and the pop menu (but if there are examples of the this - great!) but how I identify the bar/segment the user has clicked on, and retrieve the individual IDs.  (The dataset will include a unique ID for each data row.)

 

Many thanks

Susan

Hi @SusanFarr,

Nope, power bi embed not contains similar feature to achieve your requirement.

 

AFAIK, current you can use 'include/exclude' features to extract specific value from visual, but I don't think you can collection them in a pop up menu.
