Filter Hierarchy in a Matrix from a selected parent in a Gannt chart

[mckennaodonnell]

When a user selects the parent in a Gannt chart visual, it filters the Matrix visual to include child items of the parent in a heirarchy. 

This works for a bar chart but not a Gannt chart. How I can configure the matrix to filter with child items when the parent is selected in a bar chart?

Hi @mckennaodonnell ,

I suggest that you can pay attention to the structure of the table.

You can reference the following link.

Bar chart:

Gannt chart:

Measure =
VAR _sel =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Parent] )
RETURN
    IF ( MAX ( 'Table'[Parent] ) = _sel, MAX ( 'Table'[Task ] ) )

Hello Thank you for the response! 

I am attempting to select a Parent in a Gannt chart and I want it to filter the heirarchy in my Matrix. So if a  "Contract" in selected in a gant chart, it filters a Matrix below it that shows the selected "Epic" and it's tasks. 

I cannot add a measure to the item in the Gannt Chart nor can I add a measure to the Matrix in the "Item" field. I currently have used the patch function to create the heirarchy between each level. I am also not displaying any aggregate calculations, but just want to show information a in a hierarchal way. 

Epic function - this is my highest level

Story - This is my second level

When I select the "Epic" in a gantt chart. It returns the epic in the matrix but not its corresponding stories. Just the Epic itself. What do i need to do the above functions, where do i need to add in order for the Matrix heirarchy to respond to gannt chart selection?
