Hi Everyone,
Is there any workaround to replicate “Buttons” feature from Power BI?
For instance, if there is button option to switch between “Region” & “Country”, the visual should display “Sales by Region” & “Sales by Country” respectively.
In Quick Suite, I am able to do it using parameters which can be shown as radio buttons like a list. But is there any way to show it like the below image attached.
I have attached image for reference
Hi @Kripa ,
There is a workaround to create a ‘Button’ in Quick Sight. Depending on your use case there are two ways to achieve this. You can utilize the filter or navigation action, or you can create a button that toggles the visuals that are shown.
Here is a previous post that talks about actions: How can I create “buttons” and “indicators” in Quick Sight? - Q&A - Amazon Quick Suite Community
Here is a previous post that talks about the toggle ability to hide and show certain visuals. From what it sounds like for your case I think this is more of what you are looking for. You basically just overlay the two visuals on top of each other and create a button determines what visual is shown and what is hidden.

I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!
Hi @JacobR
The post talks like we have to use custom visual and enable actions.
But can we write our content in custom visual?
For instance, I want to switch between ‘Region’ and ‘Country’. This should be in buttons in rectangle/square shape.
Hi @Kripa ,
Yes so one workaround I have found to do this is to create two calculated fields and then apply them to a table visuals. What I mean by this is you are going to create a calculated field and in it, you simply put ‘Region’ and then title the calculated field as something like Region Button. Then repeat the same for Country. After that, you apply the button field to a table visual. This may look a little weird as we are essentially creating the button from a specific cell in a table visual. You can turn off titles and column headers and any other design components, but the goal is to just have the cell showing. From there, you then create an action which will be what powers the changes that switches between region and country. I will attach an example below of a button I created.
This is from a Tariff Dashboard I created but you can see that I used what I talked about and created a ‘Reset’ button that is used to reset my parameters. Your use case is a bit different but still should follow the same steps on how to create a button.
Hope this helps and let me know if you need me to explain anything further!
Hi @JacobR ,
Thanks for the workaround. But I am not able to achieve the expectation.
I did the same by creating two calculations and used in table visual to make it look like button. However, actions cannot be applied there.
I think we can only use rule based hiding for this and we need parameters for that.
If I create parameter, then I need to give control values which will be visible in dashboard. My question is about this only. I don’t want any dropdown/radio buttons/list . I need buttons and when I click the buttons, the respective visuals should show.
I have attached the arena link here Buttons Check
Kindly let me know if it is doable or a limitation.
Thanks
