Hi All,

Hi @bajee,

 

Current there is no option to disable the 'See Records/Show data' option.

For your requirement, I'd like to suggest you take a look at below link which told about limitations, 'see records' feature not available on some of them.

 

Use See Data and See Records in Power BI Desktop

Limitations

There are a few limitations to consider when using See Data or See Records:

  • Only the following visual types are supported:
    • Bar
    • Column
    • Map
    • Tree Map
    • Filled Map
    • Pie
    • Donut
    • Funnel
  • You can't use See Records when your visual uses a calculated measure
  • You can't use See Records when connected to a live multidimensional (MD) model

 

In addition, you can also submit a idea for disabled these feature.

 

Regards,

Xiaoxin sheng

I'm searching for this, too. Perhaps you can guide me? 

 

I'm looking at this published example of the King County Readership dashboard. When I right click on an element, I am permitted to see "Show Data", however I do not see "See Records." 

 

How can I accomplish this end result? 

 

Thanks in advance.
