Controlling interaction between visuals and filter pane (page)

Hi,

 

We have one chart which shows a measure by last 10 weeks and don't want this partiuclar chart on page to be affacted by a a year week selection  in the filters pane.

 

If we have the yearweek as a slicer can stop the chart interacting with this fina such that if choose one week all visuals on page show 1 week but chart contibues to show 10 weeks.

 

However, if we have the year/wk as a filer in the filter pane below then look to have no control of interaction of filters with visuals on a page wondering if any way 

 

Like filters as saves us space on actual page intead of using slicer.  Is it possible to control interaction between visuals and the filters in filter pane such that we can switch of interaction of the yearweek filter with the chart visual concerned?

Hi @po,

 

If the column is in a visual and it's in the Page Level Filter, I'm afraid you can't clear its effect. We suppose the Page Level Filter can work on the page but it doesn't. That would be a little strange. Maybe you can use a slicer and edit the interaction as a workaround.

Just wanted to add that I was looking for a solution to this too, so I'm glad to have stumbled upon this from my google search, because now I know that this is not possible.

 

In other words, you have to use a slicer (which will take up space on the page) to edit interactions. There is no way to edit interactions between filters on the filters pane and visuals on the page.

 

Also, an upvote from me to implement this functionality in a future version of PowerBI!

Hi @po,

 

As you used a measure, you can clear the filter in the measure like below.

 

Measure = calculate([the parts already exist], all('table'[Year Week]))

One pre-condition is that the chart doesn't have that column.

Hi,

 

Thanks for suggestion - though chart has that measure.

Hi @po,

 

It isn't a problem if the chart has the measure. What does the chart have, the measure or the column used as a filter?

Hi,

The chart has the measure in the bars and the filter column along x axis

Thanks

Yes have used slicer as workaround.

 

Would be good for power bi in future release to have feature of controlling interactivity between visuals and filters if possible,

Hi Po,

 

You can use Edit Interactions to achieve this task. Its under FORMAT menu after selecting the control.

Refer below link for more details.

Hi Satya,

 

Thanks for reply.  This works fine and have used this before for interactions between visuals.

 

However, having a specific issue trying to control interaction between a visual and the filters on filter pane.

 

Can this be achieved?

 

Thanks
