    Hi Anonymous ，

     

    1. Create separate views for same dashboard

    If you're referring to the dashboard, you can't do that. Dashboards can only have one page and cannot be filtered or sliced.

     

    2. If this is a report and there is no requirement for data segregation, you may consider BA_Pete's approach of using bookmarks and page navigators.

    3. If you want your clients to open the report and only see the filtered data, you can consider setting Row-level security. This will restrict access to data at the row level for different roles.

Hi Anonymous ,

 

You've used both 'dashboard' and 'report' to describe the item that you want to be able to toggle. In Power BI, these terms are not interchangeable.

Are we talking about a report (created in PBI Desktop as a PBIX file), or a dashboard (created by pinning visuals from reports viewed in the PBI Service)?

    Hi, apologies

     

    Read report for both terms!

      No problem.

      In that case, you probably want to look into using bookmarks:

      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-bookmarks?tabs=powerbi-desktop 

      In the above, you will see that you can assign bookmarks to buttons, so you can add a toggle button of sorts using two different images (one toggled to customer, one to default) so that you can switch between the two views at the touch of a button on your report.

      I'm assuming that any users you share the report with are authorised to see both versions of your report. If not, then you will need to create a separate report for anyone with different permissions on the information.
