Format Panel

Hi everyone!

Do we have the possibility to enable/disable the switcher (Column subtotals) in format panel programmatically? After that, it should make an API call to powerbi.dataView and rerender the table.

Hi @Anonymous,

You can use persistObjectProperties on the visual host to do it. You send a VisualObjectInstancesToPersist object containing the object/property(ies) you wish to update and the visual host will set them and trigger an update/re-query (as any property change will do this), which would satisfy your requirement of updating the dataView.

Regards,

Daniel
