Let's say you have awesome dashboards for each of 6 departments. Each dashboard can be drilled down to a handful of useful reports.
Now let's say you want to produce a company-wide super-dashboard for the CEO. Can I build a dashboard that, instead of linking to and displaying information from reports, lets you do the same thing to dashboards?
So now, we have a master dashboard that the CEO can go to for the entire company. He can then pick a segment of the company that interests him, say Sales. This drills down to the dashboard for Sales.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Akahn,
you can set custom link for each dashboard component/object, so it should satisfy your needs
Does the latest version support parameter passing across dashboards?
Akahn,

But can you send a parameter in the custom link? Typically you want to send context of what was clicked on, so for example if you click the East Cost sales in a bar chart, you can pass the axis value as a parameter. That is how Datazen handles this.
parameters are not supported ![]()
Is it possible to do the same in Power BI Desktop for reports? I tried to do such functionality , but did not get.
I tried the suggestion below, but it does not change the view in the dashboard.
Hi,
When i apply custom link, my reports are opening to new tab..Is there a way to open report in same tab from Dashboard?.
Do we have a solution for that currently ???
I would love to see a solution for this.
I agree this would be very nice.
