How to use visuals to filter slicer

[ibrahimr]

Hello,

My PBIX has both visualizations and slicers. When I change one slicer, all other slicers and visuals are updated, but when I select a certain value in a visual (ex: selecting a single bar in a bar chart), all other visuals are updated but slicers are not. Is there a way for visuals to filter slicer selections?

No slicer filtering selected:

Without slicer filtering

Slider slicer filtered both the bar chart and the dropdown slicer.

The slider filtered both the dropdown and the bar chart

Selecting the middle bar in the Values bar chart did not make a difference to either slicers. We want to be able to have the slicers dynamically change their values based on selected bar chart value.

Selecting the middle bar in the Values chart didn't make a change with the slider or the dropdown. We want the slicers to be affected by the selected bar in the bar chart.

Hi @ibrahimr ,

Based on my test, the slicer can not be filtered by the visual.

@ibrahimr , Not very clear. But interaction is the driver bases. When I click on the bar, where all it can pass the values(Bar is the driver) . Same way when you click on the filter, What all visual will filter.

@ibrahimr , Please check your interactions, I can see that bar do not interact with the duration

For independent slicer refer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyOquvfhzNM

I just double checked, they are all interacting. I selected a bar in the second visual and then a selection from the dropdown, and that made the first visual empty.

Ordinarily, if they are interacting and the other slicer returns "empty", it would be that your slicer doesn't meet the parameters of the values you provided (i.e. the value you have selected lies outside the parameter values supplied.

In this scenario, If your data is from 2 sources, then you would need to model your data appropriately. Such that when you select "7" your model knows that its 7 consistiting of users, a, b, c. 

I hope this steers anyone reading this in the right direction -
