Drill-through report
Anonymous Dashboards are your highest level, and can contain tiles from any number of reports.
Dashboards only exist in the Service.
You can pin any visual, from any number of reports, to the same dashboard.
The user will click a "Tile" on the Dashboard, and be taken to a report page.
When you upload a file from the Desktop to the Service, everything exists on the Service (Azure back end). Nothing relates to your on premise desktop file at that point. There are a bunch of different scenerio's for using different back end sources, but we'll keep it simple...
The support documentation is really good, use the navigation on the left hand side of my link to explore these topics further.
Hope that answers your questions/points you in the right direction.
Anonymous I now understand the confusion.
OK, Power BI has two parts - The Desktop, and the Service.
They have different capabilities.
The Desktop - You can create models and build reports
The Service - You can build reports, and Share
In order to use the "Sharing" capabilities of Power BI you need to pull your PBIX file into the Service, or hit the "Publish" from your Power BI Desktop. When you have done this, you can go to the Service (app.powerbi.com) and pin visuals from the report that you built to a Dashboard. The Dashboard is shared with end users. So when they click on a tile you pinned to the Dashboard, they will be taken to the report page where the visual was pinned from, and be able to see all the other pages of the report you built.
hi
so i'm having some issues with the drillthrough filter
first after putting on the drill through on power bi desktop and publishing, it doesn't work, you still need to put on the drill through on the power bi service.
now after putting on the drill through filter on the power bi service, everytime you leave the report page and come back to it, the filter goes off. and you have to keep putting it on every single time which is quite annoying.
is there a way around this?
second when you pin to dashboard ,the drill through doesn't work. meaning it only works on the report page
it only works kinda well on the desktop but what's the point on the desktop when i need to show it to someone after publishing.
it's quite annoying, is there a way work around this?
