Show Data points as table option while clicking over a single bar or column
- 4 years ago
Hi Ramendra
I think this is by design. In Power BI Desktop, only when you select a visual and activate the Data point table icon in Data/Drill ribbon, you can left click to see the table. When this icon isn't activated, left-clicking will let you pick a data point and see its interactive effects with other visuals too. As Power BI Desktop is a report design tool for report authors, it's just like when you are in edit mode in the service. It's similar to when you switch on Show data point as a table option in Edit mode in service.
For report viewers (in report view mode), left-clicking will let you select a data point. This is by default and cannot be changed currently. When a visual has a hierarchy and is in Drill Down mode, left-clicking will let users drill down that data point.
I recommend that you raise up a new idea about functionality to change/customize the left-click behavior of visuals for report users. You can post your idea at Ideas (powerbi.com) and let other people vote it up. Currently I found there are some similar ideas but for drill feature.
Microsoft Idea - Enable Drillthrough on Left Click/Mobile
Microsoft Idea - Enable Double Left-Click Drill Down, Double Right-Click Drill Up
