Hi
I have a excelfile with multiple sheets and tables that I want to use in Power BI
In Excel I have used VBA, pivot and Sunburst charts to make a easy to read presentation of our progress at work.
So this is what I want to present.
Each sheet contains a ton of data (23x2600 cells) and represent a specific progress period. And with the dropdown I choose what table Excel pulls the data for the pivot that is presented as sunburst charts.
I think I can figure out the filtering to create the sunburst but I cant figure out how to let the user choose progress period.
So to make the question easier to understand. How do I create a dropdown that tells powerBi excatly which table/sheet I what PowerBI to pull the data from?
Thank you in advance

hi, @TommyMossberg
Do you mean that different progress periods are in different tables or data source?
If so, you could try this way:
Step1:
In different progress periods tables, add a tag column, eg. "period 1" for progress period 1 table "period 2" for progress period 2 table, etc.
Step2:
Then append the different progress periods table into one table.

Step3:
Create the report based on the new append table.
Step4:
Use tag column as a dropdown slicer.
If not your case, please describe it with sample data.

This might be a solution 🙂
I'm trying to do this in PowerBI but I'm getting a lot of errors. If I can solve them I'll mark this as "Accept...." otherwise I'll come back with more info.
