Customize highlighting for selected row in table visual

[iron_dinges]

On the Table visual, when a row is selected by clicking on it, all other rows in the table become faded.

See below:

Question: is it possible to customize how the selected and unselected rows are formatted?

For example, I would like to have row A above be highlighted in a light blue background when selected, and for rows B and C to remain with default formatting - that is, not faded.

I am not asking about field formatting. I am aware that I can specifically highlight a row using field and/or conditional formatting, but that does not allow me to change the formatting based on what is selected on that same table, as I have described above.

I have floated the idea of having a separate slicer to control selection, but my users prefer the current method.

My use case is as follows: a have a report in which products are analysed one by one. All of the products appear in a Table visual, sorted by some value related to that product. All other visuals on the page are cross-filered by this table visual. So the user experience with using this report is to click on a product in the product table visual (which cross-filters the rest of the page), do their analysis and make decisions, then click on the next product and repeat. A slicer is not suitable for this because a slicer would only show one dimension, and no value columns.

Hi @iron_dinges  ，

As far as I know this cannot be done.My idea is still implemented through the slicer.

I provide my pbix file and wish it is helpful for you!

Hi Lucien,

Thank you for the effort, I appreciate it.

However, as I stated in the opening post, I am aware that it can be done using conditional formatting. But due to user requirements, the use of a slicer is not feasible in this instance.

It is important that the visual that does the filtering or slicing also show relevant information that can be sorted, which a slicer does not allow us to do.
