mobile layout overlap visualization

Team,

    Is there a way to overlap each visual on one another in mobile layout ? I have already bookmarks to show/hide based on button click and bookmark in power bi desktop.  I tried to overlap but it could not be done. Is there any alternative to overlap or i need to show all visuals in mobile layout ?

 

Thanks

Vivek

Team,

   I found out a solution for this and this works:

If you have 2 buttons and 2 bookmarks in desktop layout and each button is tied to one bookmark with each one showing different visuals overlapping on each other. This is perfectly working in desktop layout.

For mobile layout, to work the same:

a. Click a button in desktop layout and it will open corresponding bookmark and show visuals accordingly

b. Now go to phone layout and place visuals wherever required.

c. Go back to desktop layout and click second button and it will open corresponding bookmark and show visuals accordingly.

d. Now if you go to phone layout overlapping visuals, first button visual will be hidden and empty space will appear and drag second button visual into empty space. 

e. So now when report is browsed in mobile, each button click will show and hide visuals overlapping on each other.

 

THanks

HI @Anonymous ,

 

Nope, it is impossible.

Current phone layout not support overlay visualizations, you can only achieve this in normal report mode.
