Ctrl + Click Not Working

I am live connecting to a multi-dimensional SSAS cube in Power BI Desktop - Report Server Edition. For some reason I am unable to ctrl+click and select multiple bars within the same bar chart. I remember this functionality working for me in the past so I am wondering if there is a setting to enable this or if something I am doing is preventing me from doing this?

 

Thank You

Hi @mjmar025,

 

According my test, I found that multi-selection is disabled when the fields of Axis is dimensions. Otherwise, we can select more than one bars. I think this could be the nature of the dimensions. Please go to sqlanalysisservices for professional advices. Ctrl + Click Not Working.jpg

So if the organization heirarchy is a dimension then what is the 'scenario' field considered? I need tobe able to explain to our data people what type of field to create in our cube so that this functionality can work.
