Auto-Expanded Sections in Apps

Hi all,

 

I am wondering whether or not there is a current feature in the Power BI service that allows an app creator to auto-expand the different sections within the app without making the user have to click the little arrow to see all of the reports within a section. Perhaps this is already a feature that I missed, but if someone could guide me to an answer I'd appreciate it greatly.

 

Thanks,

Vik

Hi @Anonymous ,

I believe you are asking if there is a way to auto-expand the different sections within the app in Power BI without making the user have to click the little arrow to see all of the reports within a section. It seems that there is no direct way to auto-expand the different sections within the app in Power BI. However, you can try using a Card or a Multi-Card visual with dynamic values.

Hello @Anonymous,

 

I believe you are saying that there is no solution to this, but I thought it'd be a good idea to just double-check with you. You are correct; and you have exactly described what I want. But for clarification, I attached an image to describe more details for you.

The first picture here shows what I currently have and depicts which arrow I want to be expanded, without the user clicking it. The next one shows what I want, in other words, for the arrow to be automatically expanded. If you could just send a quick message to verify that this isn't a feature that would be great!


Thanks,

Vik
