To be specific, the dataSelected event still gets triggered from datapoints in visuals but not from slicers.
This is a big issue since a lot of applications rely on the dataSelected event from slicers.
I don't think this is specific to our application since I am able to reproduce the issue on the Power BI embedded Javascript playground:
https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/v2-demo/index.html#
- On the Emdeb tab select run to generate the embedded report
- On the Interact tab select Data and then select Data Selected Event and then click Run
- If you click a bar on the chart you will see the dataSelected event producing the output on the Log window on the right.
- However, If you change the selection on one of the slicer filters in the report they will not trigger the dataSelected event and therefore we will not see the information in the log window.
Issue!
