Hi,
I have a set of 3 tables that are part of a page and are being used as a filter for the drill through functionality. When i select one of the values on the first table, the drill through button is enabled and there is a accent bar that indicates the selected value. However if i select a value on the second table, the accent bar in the first table disappears, although the selected value doesn't change. How can i make sure that it is obvious that there is a selected value in the first table?
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
The behavior you're seeing is due to the fact that in Power BI, visuals such as tables or matrices don’t keep their selection highlighted when a different visual is selected, even though the filter itself remains active.
You can add a card visual to display the selected value from the first table.
SelectedValue1 = SELECTEDVALUE('Table1'[Field1], "No Selection")Place this measure in the card visual. Now, when you select a value in the first table, the card will update to show that selection even if you then interact with the second or third table.
💌 If this helped, a Kudos 👍 or Solution mark would be great! 🎉
Cheers,
