selecting filtering for chart on tooltip

[ValeriaBreve]

Hello,

I have a table with a chart (page) tooltip.

The table has rows for projects, with total sales, and on the report page there is a slicer for the year that users can select.

In the tooltip chart, I have  a lollipop with the year on the "y" axis and the total sales on the "x".

I need to have the tooltip chart filtered by project - so when I hover on each row of the table it shows the sales of that particular project only - but showing ALL YEARS, regardeless of what the user has selected. But the table needs well to be filtered by the year selected in the slicer.

Hope it's clear 🙂

Is this at all possible?

Thanks!

Kind regards

Valeria

Hi, @ValeriaBreve 

As far as I know, if you have added a user-selectable year slicer to the report page, when you select a year value on the report page, your corresponding chart will already filter to the value of the sales for a particular item under the currently selected year. If the year is displayed as All, then there are only two possibilities:

The visual interaction between your year slicer and the corresponding chart is not open, you can check this article:

Your year column is listed on a different table than the values in the corresponding chart, and there is no relationship between the two tables or the data is filtered in the wrong direction.

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!

Hi Aniya,

thanks, I had not seen this but this is exactly how I solved this issue - I used a different date table for my tooltip than for the slicers in the report page, and that works well.

Thanks!
