Add event handler for selectionChanged event

I am working on some enbedded power bi report. From documentation I see we can listen for the changes made to a slicer selected values by selectionChanged event. I tried using that but is not working always. It is working randomly. I also didn't find any example showing the full working code for this. Could anyone help on this by providing the working code for this.

 

I tried the below inside the report loaded event. I also tried attaching the event listener for slicer but that didn't worked too.

 

report.on("selectionChanged", function (event) {
console.log(event);
});

 

Please help!!

Hi @JagadishNallami ,

Base on your description, it looks like you're trying to handle the 'selectionChanged' event for a Power BI embedded report and it is not working. Please change the codes as below and check if it can work...

// Attach event listener for the report loaded event
report.on('loaded', function () {
    console.log('Report loaded');
    attachSelectionChangedEvent(report);
  });

// Function to attach the selectionChanged event handler
function attachSelectionChangedEvent(report) {
  report.on('selectionChanged', function (event) {
    console.log('Selection changed:', event);
  } );

Best Regards
