Click Graph to Filter

I have two graphs/visuals that I am placing on the same page. The first graph is basically sales per month and the second graph is sales per person. When I click the month in the first graph, I want the second graph to only take the sales from that month.

 

It sort of works. When I click the first graph it creates the shadow bar (which shows the total/the same amount before the click) and it shows the amount per month per person in the smaller/darker shade bar.

 

Thanks in advanced.

Hi @Anonymous  I assume you want the 2nd graph to filter the data and not show a subset.  Here are the steps:

 

1) Go to Format - Edit Ineractions

2) Hover over the 2nd graph and click on the 'Filter Icon'

 

The 2nd graph will now show the filtered data and not a subset. Images are attached.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You want to filter out other values in the second chart, only to show related month values when clicking a specifc bar in the first chart, right? I'm not this is not supported by now. It will highlight the bars by default. As a workaround, you can add a slicer to filter both charts.
