The Problem:
When working with multiple tables or matrices on a report page, users frequently need to chain selections together (e.g., clicking Matrix A filters Matrix B, and then clicking Matrix B further filters Matrix C). Currently, achieving this multi-select behavior requires holding down the Ctrl key while clicking across visuals. This interaction is not intuitive or discoverable for standard business users, and there is no native configuration to enable a sequential cascading filter chain by default.
The Proposed Solution:
Implement a native feature or setting that allows seamless multi-visual cascading selections. Users should be able to click sequentially through a series of connected tables or matrices to filter downstream visuals without relying on hidden keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + Click.

Voting is required for this feature request.
I would also like to request a new feature/enhancement. A similar selection and interaction capability is available when Power BI reports are integrated through Power BI Embedded, but the same level of functionality is not currently available in Power BI Desktop.
This capability would be particularly useful for organizations migrating reports and dashboards from other BI tools, such as Tableau, to Power BI. Providing a consistent selection and interaction experience in Power BI Desktop would make report development and migration easier and help reduce the need for workarounds or additional customization.
