I'm attempting to enable drillthrough from a Map visual. I have the Lat & Lon filled out, and a simple field filled out for the legend. It's working great. But I want to drill through to another page based on a field that IS NOT the legend. I was hoping to be able to do this by dropping that field into Tooltips, but it won't work. The whole visual blows up if I try to drop it into Location.
Maybe this is simply not possible to do with the Map visual, which would be a shortcoming. If anyone has a suggestion, it would be most appreciated.
So, it appears that maps only allow you to drillthrough from the location or legend field. I don't understand why this can't be extended to any field I add to Tooltips. Seems like a shortcoming.
Drill thru primarily works with the field which is part of the visual. Hence it wont work the way you want.
However try creating a slicer and sync slicers between the pages and see whether you will able to achieve!
