Cross highlighting measure

Hello Community,

 

the users and I receiving error while only trying to exclude values / rows from a matrix table in a power bi report with the below error:

We can't display this visual because a measure is used in cross highlighting. Please remove the measure or cross highlight.

to note that I have disabled cross highlighting / filtering by default and plus I tested the same behavior with removing the measure in the filter pane on the right of the page but still same error. Any idea ?

Hello @Elieekh17 , 

 

Select the matrix visual, go to Format -> Data/Visual interactions and ensure "None" is selected for cross-highlighting interactions between visuals.

@dharmendars007 Sorry but I can't cut the interactions between visuals as they are linked together (fields parameters and a matrix table) , the solution was not the suitable one
