Bar Chart - Category Selection

In Ms. Excel, when we click on one of the bars, it will automatically select everything that falls within the same category. Is that possible to do it in PowerBi? Sample as below.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    According to your requirements, this function can be easily implemented in powerbi desktop. I did the following test: create an identical visual, and then just click the type area below. Then you can get the highlight results of the same category.

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

     

    Best Regards,
    Henry

Aha! Good one! That's only can be done when we select from legend. 

Not possible to have the same results when select one of the bars?

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Yes, if you click on a specific bar, the clicked part will be highlighted, and the same result as above will not be achieved.


Looking forward to your reply.

 

Best Regards,
Henry
