Cross filtering problems
- 10 months ago
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.
Thank you,
I know that, but I have the setting turned on and then created a brand new slicer and visual but the visual is still being automatically filtered by the slicer.
Sorry. I don't get it. If you mean to change the visual interaction of slicers to cross-filter, it is not currently supported. Slicers filter only.
