    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    I'd like to suggest you use URL filters to filter the result page. For further information, you may refer to the article . Here is my sample data.

     

    You may copy the link and append at the end of link as follows.

     

    .../ReportSection?filter=Products/UnitPrice eq 18
.../ReportSection?filter=Products/UnitPrice eq 30
.../ReportSection?filter=Products/ProductID eq 40

     

     

    Then you could make the image selected, go to 'Format image', click 'Action', set 'Type'  as 'Web URL' and 'Web URL' as the corresponding link. 

     

    When it is saved and published to service, you can click the image and it will go to the result page filtered by URL parameters. Here are the results.

     

     

    Best Regards

    Allan

Hello v-alq-msft ,

 

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate.

 

Hence, the current problem is that the manager doesn't want the bookmarks Method but the URL Method: 

I copied the URL of the "Report details" from powerbi service and added a filter to it as the following: 

URL of report details: https://app.powerbi.com/groups/52131e3d-7c2d-4fd4-962f-a4c84f49ea35/reports/a5f2faa8-76f4-401b-a037-5bee1295997e/ReportSection724bb01bf5b90ad5a4c1

Employee Page :https://app.powerbi.com/groups/52131e3d-7c2d-4fd4-962f-a4c84f49ea35/reports/a5f2faa8-76f4-401b-a037-5bee1295997e/ReportSection724bb01bf5b90ad5a4c1?filter=Union~2FName-ID%20eq%20%27Caren%20ABBOUD%20-%203%27

So when the manager will click on an employee image it will redirect him to the above link.

How can i open this link in the same window?

 

Thank you in advance,

 

Rita.

    Hello v-alq-msft ,

     

    Thank you sooo much !!!!

    is it possible to open it in the same window?

    For example, when choosing a picture, a new window tab will open -- is it possible to run it in the same window?

     

    Thank you again,

     

    Rita

        Also wondering if you were able to do this in the same window. I swear i saw the option somewhere, and now I can't find it anymore.
