how to edit interactions of visuals between pages

[Anonymous]

Is it currently possible (as of 2019-11-15) to edit / synchronize interactions in visuals across pages?  That is, I want a selection in a visual on one page to affect a visual on another page.  (Really, I want all visuals on all pages to be affected, i.e., report-level, but I will accept it at a visual-level.)

I have seen ideas for this posted in the past, but I don't know if they've been implemented yet.

Is this still not solved? I need to filter all pages using interaction with a visual.

Hi @Anonymous,

Sync slicer should be a work around.

Perhaps I'm not understanding something about the proposed work-around.  Again, my requirement is that a selection in a visual affects all (or, at least, some) visuals on other pages (in addition to the current page).  Are you saying that the only solution to this problem is a work-around (i.e., sync'd slicers)?  Suppose I have just 3 pages, and 3 different dimensions on each page.  Even for this very limited scenario, I would need to create 9 slicers and put them on each page, which will eat up a lot of real-estate on each page.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can hide slicers on other pages. 

There is an idea about that, you can vote it up to make this feature coming sooner.

Is edit interactions of visuals between pages still not possibile? I clicked on the link to vote but the link was broken.

If you have a slicer on 2 pages and sync the slicers, when you make a selection on page 1 that selection will go to page 2 and any visual on page 2 set to use the slicer on page 2 will be filtered.  Is that not what you are wanting it to do?

While that can be a workaround in some situations, that is not what I generally want to achieve.  (In fact, even that workaround is quite restrictive, as slicers affect visuals, not the other way around.)  I want a selection in some visualization (say a bar chart) on one page to affect a visualization on another page.  I come from a heavy Qlik Sense background, and this is the default behavior in Qlik (and can be configured to behave differently per visualization).  While I understand that Power BI is not Qlik Sense, I think it's natural to expect this behavior in any BI tool.
