Filtering a child visual based on selectedvalue in parent visual

This one seems easy but is driving me battie.

 

I have a table with three columns,  Name/ WBS/Parent WBS

 

I have a visual with all the data.  

When I select a row in visual 1,  I want the WBS value to filter a second visual based on Parent WBS = WBS selected in Visual 1.

I have tried the obvious SELECTEDVALUE avenue but can not get the second visual to show all rows where the Parent WBS is = to WBS in first visual.

 

Further Context

 

My table has a hierachy built with Path/Length etc etc.  I want to show different levels of the hierachy across visuals.  So Visual one Level 1, Visual 2 Level 2, Visual 3 Level 3 etc.

When Level 1 is selected in visual 1, the lower level visuals should filter.

Thank you for any assistance

Found the same question on an earlier forum with no answer.  Confirmed a workaround but no elegant solutions unfortunately.  Perhaps Hierarchies across visuals will be a future feature.  My workaround was on PQ.
