Dax Selected value will not display in a card

[pkoel-asb]

Hello,

  I have a multi-page report. On the first page I have a filter. I am using the Dax statement selected value to caputre the value the user selects:

SelectedOption = SELECTEDVALUE('ReportTimeline'[Report Options])

On page 3 of my report, I want to display the SelectedOption in a card, but it is blank. Do I have to reference the page that the filter is on, in the dax statement?

Cheers!

Is there any other way? I can put an invisible slicer on each page, but that seems rather tedious.

The slicer that the user selects from needs to be on the same page as the card visual, although it does not need to be visible.

You could copy the slicer from the current page and paste it into the page with your card, make sure to choose the sync slicer option, and then hide it on the page where you don't want it.
