I have a bar chart like this :
For privacy Reasons I had to obscure labels. So let's call them Label 1 Label 2 etc. If I click on one of them I want to have returned the relative rows in this matrix, that is placed in another dashboards (the second page of my report) :
If I put this table on the same page of the report I do not get any problem. But if I put this table on another page of my report nothing is happening. I read already some reports about synchronization but I still have some issues.
Just Solved. Being relatively new to Power BI it was not clear what I was searching for. I solved by drill-through. I just chosen the page to drill out putting on the drill-through space on the right side of the page the set of variable of interest.
I found this page and this you-tube video to be very helpful

Please see attached screenshot as I think this will help show better. I have an SSRS report, in that one column can have the same value across many rows. For this report, you can see Site column has a value of "JAC-FL". How can I "merge" this so it only appears once (See screen shot of "Excel Layout" as I know how to do this in Excel). For the life of me, I cannot seem to get this.
I already have a rowgroup defined for the data (see Row Group screenshot) (Please note, there is data for Username, but I removed it so it wouldn't appear in the screen shot).
Site = lvl_2_value, UMFullName = User Name, stream_3_Stream = Stream
I cannot seem to get my Site (I plan on doing this to the other columns as well, but thought if I get the first to work, I can do it to the others) to appear like the Excel layout. Would anyone be able to help?
You'll want to split out the rows into child groups, instead of grouping on all of them at once. Take a look at the bottom left of your first screenshot, you can see the "row groups" section there.
If all you see in that box is a line that says "(Details)", then you will need to start by right-clicking that and adding a parent group. Then you can add a child to that parent, and so on, going from most inclusive to least inclusive. So for example, if we were working with locations, we could do something like Country > State/Province > City).

It may be easiest to start a new tablix (keep your old tablix until you're done though so you can copy and paste expressions and get the formatting right again!), as things tend to get shifted around when you add groups to an existing tablix.
When I try to print a power view sheet it comes out blank (no ink on the paper), even though the print preview shows the sheet nicely.
See image below (secret stuff is blurred out):
According to Microsoft themselves it should be possible to both print and export (to pdf) a power view sheet.
Many other sites also claim that it should be possible, e.g. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/excel_power_view/excel_power_view_sharing.htm
I have tried both options though, and it comes out blank on paper when printing, and when exported just shows a blank pdf page.
I ended up contacting Microsoft support and I was told that it is only possible to print an image of the current view if the Excel document is on a SharePoint server.
I am currently able to use the tile feature in Power View to view data much more quickly. However I haven't figured out a way to have nested tiles to further drill down into the relevant data.
For example, I want a tile strip at the top of my view of all the different "Projects." Once I click on a tile, I want to see all the relevant data for that project and have part of that container have a strip of tiles to show "Risks, Issues, Action Items, etc." and other items in a list. See image in this link (it is a non-working dashboard, but showing you all to get a better idea of the hierarchy).
Does any one know how to do this? I know I can use slicers instead for one of the levels or view filters but I want to be able to use tiles for both.
If you use a slicer within your tile it will almost do what you want. However, you wouldn't get the nice icons for warning & error to be the source of selection. You could make it more visual by separately having a table that includes the images so that when a user selects a slicer value, it shows the appropriate icon.

In the September Power BI update they've added te possibility to: Drill Up/Down for column and scatter charts in Reports.

I am having some issues with Report Builder 3.0 and VS2012 in creating a invoice-like report that contains a fixed-sized section where detail rows will display. This section must be of fixed size so that each rendered report page will fit in a specific space regardless of the number of items. Items that would not fit then print on a new report page with the header and footer repeated.
I am not able to accomplish making the detail area a fixed-size. After searching for help and only coming up with some old (and unanswered) MS TechNet questions, I took the advice of this TechNet article which suggests using a rectangle inside of a tablix cell, then placing a detail tablix inside of the rectangle to achieve this effect.
This practice does allow me to add any amount of whitespace to the report, but it does not remain a fixed-size. On rendering the report, the rectangle will increase in size for each detail row (even though the rectangle is already big enough to fit the row), resulting in anything below the rectangle to be pushed onto new and unwanted pages. The rectangle doesn't have a "CanGrow" property to prevent this.
I have tried setting the "CanGrow" property on the detail tablix cells to "false". This only limits the actual cell from applying text wrap and expanding to fit cell contents; it doesn't appear to affect the rectangle. I have also set the "CanGrow" property on the parent tablix cell to "false", but this has no effect. Incidentally, I found that when I add a rectangle inside of the parent tablix cell, the "CanGrow" property will reset to "true".
To rule out an issue with Report Builder, I attempted to create the same report in VS2012 (as a .rdlc). I encountered the same design problems.
I have four questions:
Is this the correct way to go about creating the effect I need?
If so, what part am I missing?
Is there a another solution?
Are SSRS reports capable of this at all?
Here's a visual example of what I'm trying to create:
To fix your issue you should change the ConsumeContainerWhitespace property of the report to True.

This will also fix white-space problems with reports created in SSRS 2005 as in this version whitespace was automatically consumed.
See SSRS 2008R2 changes
This question is a follow up to my original question, I've done a bit more reseach, i narrowed a problem down quite a bit.
I've also uploaded a sample .rdl to illustrate the problem
I've got the following report setup: a header (image in the body), two textboxes, and a footer.
First textbox has a little bit of text, and second textbox has lots of text. Second textbox can fit on one page by itself, but won't fit on the page with my header and the first textbox.
The problem is that for some reason, the second textbox in the report is unaware of other contents of that same report, and as long as that one textbox fits on one page - it will be moved to the second page. (once the textbox grows larger than 1 page - it will split, and will achieve the desired behavior)
Desired behavior is to split the second textbox, and keep as much text on the first page as possible, and move the rest to the second page.
I'm not sure about v.2005 but in v.2008 you can set a textbox property: KeepTogether to false.
This will fit as much text on the first page than the rest on the second page.
This is pretty standard behaviour in SSRS. Like many issues with the Reporting engine, you have to trick it.
In this case you could try to provide the 'lines' for the second text box as individual rows in a Detail, then use a repeater or table to display them. Alternatively you could break on 'paragraph'. Unfortunately you'll have to do this in your data source, probably in a stored procedure, depending on how you're getting the data to the report.
If appropriate you could look at client-side reporting (.rdlc files), which allows you to pre-process the data in a .NET application, although setting up for printing can be more complex.
