How to drilldown the narrative information using Python on Power BI?

Hi all,

 

I have a project challenge that is develop a drilldown inside the narrative information to give the possibility to the user navigate trough the data and discover more information.

Our customer has another application done using React, that's why they are asking for this possibility?

 

Is it possible to do on Power BI using Python language?

Hi @douglastassio 

Thank you for being part of the Microsoft Fabric Community.

Power BI does not natively support drilldown in narrative text using Python scripts. However, you can achieve similar functionality through custom visuals, tooltips, or external integrations.

However, Python visuals are static in Power BI and:

  • Do not support interactive drilldowns
  • Cannot update based on user selections
  • Require data to be preprocessed before rendering

Power BI allows Python visuals, which can dynamically generate narrative text based on selected data. You can use NLTK or OpenAI API for contextual insights.

Limitations: Python visuals are static and do not support drilldowns natively.
 
If the above information helps you, please give us a Kudos and marked the Accept as a solution.
