Strange issue in dashboard

Hi All,

 

I have created a dashboard from different report pages. I saw a strange thing, when i slice & dice the dashboard tiles it is going to the related report page where i can't slice it and after when i done the different dashboard using pin live page option in the report page there i am able to slice it. Can any body please explain why it is happening?

@prakash11440278 Apologies, but I'm confused. A dashboard contains pinned visuals from report pages. Alternatively, a report page itself can be pinned in its entirety to a dashboard.

Dashboards do not contain slicers/filters on their own.

If you pin tiles from a report page, those tiles cannot be filtered on the dashboard itself.

If you pin the live page, you can view the entirety of the report page on the dashboard. This "tile" does not behave like other pinned visuals in that the filters and slicers you have on the report page will work for the elements in the report page "tile".

If you are expecting the report page elements to interact with other pinned tiles in the dashboard, this will not work.
