Hi,
hopefully I can describe this correctly (with example numbers):
After connecting via CDS to Dynamics 365 Sales (CRM) and the when the dataset is somewhat ready, I go to the report view and start building the visuals, then I notice e.g. Customer X in country DE shows a revenue of 500'000'000 which cannot be correct, knowing the data. First idea: analyse the dataset (ensure it's not because of some post-calculations) and fix the error at source - in CRM.
One way is to add required information to the visual and find it back in CRM but I would like to first have a look at the data, which takes following steps:
Is there a better way? E.g., I find a strange number in a visual, right click - "Filter Data" or a button in the ribbon on top: "Analyse Data" which will pre-filter all related tables in the table view according to this line in the visual.
Please let me know if such functionality exists already or if there is maybe an edd-on on the market for that.
Thank you!
Hi Kelly and thank you for your reply, it means you read all the long post that I wrote 🙂
The information on your link is helpful and good to know and I really like this cool thing to put dynamic Power BI URLs in CRM, it's truly connecting Power BI with CRM and I can already imagine some use-cases for this, especially to show some outside-of-crm data, as we have also non-365-erp systems in use.
My question goes to a slightly different direction, starting from a Power BI Report - find a "strange" number and then easily 1) find that data entry in 365 CRM or 2) auto-filter all tables in the table view in Power BI desktop to get quick to the underlying data.

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
no, sorry...! it's related to Power BI only
maybe I just need to get used to work differently with Power BI than I used to with Olap Cubes 🙂
