    Hi Fusilier2 

     

    This setting can be a bit tricky. The “Disable cross highlighting/filtering by default” option only controls how visuals interact with each other, not how slicers behave. When a slicer and a visual share the same field or are linked through a relationship, the slicer will still filter that visual - that’s just how Power BI works. This option only applies to new visuals and doesn’t change slicer behavior. If you want a slicer not to affect a visual, you’ll need to do it manually. Just select the slicer, go to Format >> Edit Interactions, and click None on the visuals you don’t want filtered. Sadly, there’s no global setting to disable slicer filtering completely, so this behavior is expected.
