Exercise 2: Configure Drill Through

In this exercise you will create a new page and configure it as a drill through page. When you’ve completed the design, the page will look like the following:

Task 1: Create a drill through page

In this task you will create a new page and configure it as a drill through page.

1. Add a new report page named Product Details.
2. Right-click the Product Details page tab, and then select Hide Page.

   Report users won’t be able to go to the drill through page directly. They’ll need to access it from visuals on other pages. You’ll learn how to drill through to the page in the final exercise of this lab.

3. Beneath the Visualizations pane, in the Drill Through section, add the Product | Category field to the Add Drill-Through Fields Here box.The labs use a shorthand notation to reference a field. It will look like this: Product | Category. In this example, Product is the table name and Category is the field name.

   

4. To test the drill through page, in the drill through filter card, select Bikes.
5. At the top-left of the report page, notice the arrow button.

   A button is added automatically when a field is added to the drill through well/area. It allows report users to navigate back to the page from which they drilled through.

6. Add a Card visual to the page, and then resize and position it so it sits to the right of the button and fills the remaining width of the page.

   

7. Drag the Product | Category field into the card visual.
8. Configure the format options for the visual, and then turn the Category Label property to Off.
9. Set the Background Color property to a light shade of gray.
10. Add a Table visual to the page, and then resize and position it so it sits beneath the card visual and fills the remaining space on the page.

    

11. Add the following fields to the visual:
    • Product | Subcategory
    • Product | Color
    • Sales | Quantity
    • Sales | Sales
    • Sales | Profit Margin
12. Configure the format options for the visual, and in the Values section, set the Text Size property to 20pt.The design of the drill through page is almost complete. You’ll enhance the page with conditional formatting in the next exercise.

Exercise 3: Add Conditional Formatting

In this exercise you will enhance the drill through page with conditional formatting. When you’ve completed the design, the page will look like the following:

Task 1: Add conditional formatting

In this task you will enhance the drill through page with conditional formatting.

1. Select the table visual.
2. In the visualization pane, click the down-arrow on the Profit Margin value, and then select Conditional Formatting | Icons.
3. In the Icons – Profit Margin window, in the Icon Layout dropdown list, select Right of Data.
4. To delete the middle rule, at the left of the yellow triangle, click X.
5. Configure the first rule (red diamond) as follows:
   • In the second control, remove the value
   • In the third control, select Number
   • In the fifth control, enter 0
   • In the sixth control, select Number
6. Configure the second rule (green circle) as follows:
   • In the second control, enter 0
   • In the third control, select Number
   • In the fifth control, remove the value
   • In the sixth control, select Number

   

   The rules can be interpreted as follows: display a red diamond if the profit margin value is less than 0; otherwise if the value is great or equal to zero, display a green circle.

7. Click OK.
8. In the table visual, verify that the that the correct icons are displayed.
9. Configure background color conditional formatting for the Color field.
10. In the Background Color – Color window, in the Format Style dropdown list, select Field Value.
11. In the What field should we base this on? dropdown list, select Product | Formatting | Background Color Format.
12. Click OK.
13. Repeat the previous steps to configure font color conditional formatting for the Color field, using the Product | Formatting | Font Color Format fieldYou may recall that the background and font colors were source from the ColorFormats.csv file in the Prepare Data in Power BI Desktop lab, and then integrated with the Product query in the Load Data in Power BI Desktop lab.

Exercise 4: Add Bookmarks and Buttons

In this exercise you will enhance the My Performance page with buttons, allowing the report user to select the visual type to display. When you’ve completed the design, the page will look like the following:

Task 1: Add bookmarks

In this task you will add two bookmarks, one to display each of the monthly sales/targets visuals.

1. Go to the My Performance page.
2. On the View ribbon tab, from inside the Show Panes group, click Bookmarks.
3. On the View ribbon tab, from inside the Show Panes group, click Selection.
4. In the Selection pane, beside one of the Sales and Target by Month items, to hide the visual, click the eye icon.
5. In the Bookmarks pane, click Add.
6. To rename the bookmark, double-click the bookmark.
7. If the visible chart is the bar chart, rename the bookmark as Bar Chart ON, otherwise rename the bookmark as Column Chart ON.
8. To edit the bookmark, in the Bookmarks pane, hover the cursor over the bookmark, click the ellipsis, and then select Data.

   Disabling the Data option means the bookmark won’t use the current filter state. That’s important because otherwise the bookmark would permanently lock in the filter currently applied by the Year slicer.

9. To update the bookmark, click the ellipsis again, and then select Update.

   In the following steps, you’ll create and configure a second bookmark to show the second visual.

10. In the Selection pane, toggle the visibility of the two Sales and Target by Month items.In other words, make the visible visual hidden, and make the hidden visual visible.

    

11. Create a second bookmark, and name it appropriately (either Column Chart ON or Bar Chart ON).
12. Configure the second bookmark to ignore filters (Data option off), and update the bookmark.
13. In the Selection pane, to make both visuals visible, simply show the hidden visual.
14. Resize and reposition both visuals so they fill the page beneath the multi-card visual, and completely overlap one another.Tip: To select the visual that is covered up, select it in the Selection pane.

    

15. In the Bookmarks pane, select each of the bookmarks, and notice that only one of the visuals is visible.The next stage of design is to add two buttons to the page, which will allow the report user to select the bookmarks.

Task 2: Add buttons

In this task you will add two buttons, and assign bookmark actions to each.

1. On the Insert ribbon, from inside the Elements group, click Button, and then select Blank.
2. Position the button directly beneath the Year slicer.
3. Select the button, and then in the Format button pane, click General and turn the Title property to On.
4. Expand the Title section, and then in the Text box, enter Bar Chart.
5. Expand the Background section, and then set a background color using a complementary color.

9. Create a copy of the button by using copy and paste, and then configure the new button as follows:Tip: The shortcut commands for copy and paste are Ctrl+C followed by Ctrl+V.
   • Set the Button Text property to Column Chart
   • In the Action section, set the Bookmark dropdown list to Column Chart ON

   The design of the Sales Analysis report is now complete.
