Hi @Anonymous ,

If I understand correctly, your issue is that you want to change chart type at run time. Power BI does not natively support interactive chart type switching directly within a single visual, the following one can be used as a workaround by using bookmark with button:

1.You can create different chart visuals you want to switch between on the Power BI report canvas. Configure each chart as desired.

 

2.Going to the View tab and open the Bookmarks Pane and the Selection Pane.

3.With the Selection Pane, hide all but one of the charts.

4.Create a new bookmark. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each chart type.

5.Insert buttons or images on the report that will serve as the triggers for switching charts.

 

6.Assign the appropriate bookmark to each button or image using the Action option in the formatting pane.

 

Looking forward to your replay.
