Highlighting

[Jelke]

Hello,

Im new to PowerBi. When I click on a projectnumber in my main visual it shoud highlight the selected projectnumber in my second visual. But this doesnt work properly. For some projectnumbers it is highlighting the number in the second visual but for some numbers it doesnt highlight the projectnumber in the second visual. But when I select every projectnumber manualy in the "filter for this visual"-tab it works for some reason. I have to do this with both of my visuals but after I did this it works like it shoud. Is there any known bug or does somone know how to fix this issue? Im using PowerBi Desktop 2.124.1805.0 (December 2023).

Hi @Jelke ,

Thank you for @lbendlin 's response, I have some information to add here.
Change how visuals interact in a report - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Highlighting, or cross-highlighting as it's sometimes referred to, is a feature designed to work across visuals to emphasize related data points when a selection is made.

If you want the selected visualization to cross-filter one of the other visualizations on the page, select the filter icon in the upper right corner of that visualization . You can only cross-filter line charts, scatter charts, and maps. You can't cross-highlight them.

Hi, I tried yesterday to recreate the issue with sample data but as I created the new report it started working. Then I tried it with my orginial report again but it didn't work. So I created a completely new report whith the same data from my original report and it worked. I think that it was a bug in the file.

Regardless how I helped myself, thank you for your help.
