Creating 2 slicers and making sure a 1 slicer selection affects the other slicer selection

I have the following star schema in power BI

 

Star Schema.png

The report requires a slicer from Dim B. Then a slicer on DimA

Unfortunately the report is a table and there is nothing from the fact table in the table.

When I slice on B I can still see everything in A

I really dont want to set up any multiple directions on the relationships. Is there anything I can do to get this working?

Hi Debbie, I have some twisted logic for you if you would like to go creative:)

Duplicate /Reference your Fact table, remove all the columns except AKey and BKey.
Remove the duplicates. Append the query from Atable, Append the query from B Table, this way you ensure that you get all of the As and all of the Bs irrespective whether they are in your Fact Table.
Then create a primary key in your fact table and in your new table Akey-Bkey.
Remove all the unnecessary columns except Akey Bkey and PrimaryKey. 
Disable Load on A, B. Create Relationships Fact TAble and New Table. 
Then use Akey from this table and Bkey for your slicers. there will be blanks in both, filter them out on the visual level. and voila:)
