Solved: Create SelectionId for Matrix data

garysweeting · ‎03-02-2017

Is it possible to create a SelectionID using the Matrix data mapping?

The tutorial covers Categories (https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals/blob/master/Visual/Selection.md#managing-selection-sele...) and the following post suggests that it's not available for Table (http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/SelectionId-for-table/m-p/76506/highlight/true#M2632).

I received some guidance on how to resolve this, you can create a DataViewCategoryColumn object based on your data. Here's an example: https://github.com/Microsoft/powerbi-visuals-sunburst/blob/master/src/visual.ts#L147

@garysweeting,

At least, seems you can not use the API. Just leave a comment on GitHub.
