Trouble with click on data using drill thru

I have 1 table with columns item_category, Item Effect, Item_description , Item_detailName, Qty

item_categoryItem_EffectItem_descriptionItem_descriptionQty
ACanLiquidA1
AHaloSolidB2
AHaloLiquidC3
BCanSolidD2
BHaloSolidE6
BCanLiquidF2
BCanLiquidG3

 

I have 3 visuals in page.

 

Visual 1 - Sum of Items by ItemCategory (Matrix)

Item_Category  
+A  
 Can1
 Halo5
+B  
 Can7
 Halo6

 

Visual 2 - Details (tablular)

So when I click on Can for category B (Highlight Red), it gives me 3 records on table.

item_categoryItem_EffectItem_descriptionItem_descriptionQty
BCanSolidD2
BCanLiquidF2
BCanLiquidG3

Which works fine using drill thru feture. But when I click on any Item Description (F), then in first visual I just see one row like this

Item_Category  
+B  
 Can1

How Can I make the visual 1 to remain with same aggregation when I click on any of the Item_Description in Visual 2.

 

Viual 3 Graph
When I click on any of the ItemDescription (F), it creates the graph for that item_description.

 

SO to keep the Visual 1 aggregated numbers to show all, I habe to click on Total in Visual 2, but that mess up visual 3, coz visual 3 now do not know how to create graph for total.

 

Thanks,

Babs

Hi @Babbs ,

through to drill down into the data, there's a logical hierarchy within it, it will filter the data you select logically, I think you can check out this document to learn more about Drill through: Set up drillthrough in Power BI reports - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
If you want to go to the first page of the visual object after the third page of selection, then I think you can use Bookmark, which can help you go back to the original visual object.

I create a bookmark and a button.

Then I get a connection between them and we can click on the button, it will show us the visual you want.
