Custom visuals cross filtering
I am using two custom visuals - drill down donut and column chart, both zoomcharts. Filtering one of the visuals is also applying the filter to the second one, but if I want to further limit the data by applying filter in addition to the second visual, then the filter on the first one is reset. Am I missing something? Drilling filter other visuals is activated as well, but no luck there. Are they some limitation to the visuals and their filtering, which are unknown to me?

That's a tough one. Custom visuals are a mixed bag. Best to contact the developer.
Thanks for your reply mate. I was expecting that feedback as this was my first assumption. But actually after some experimentation I was able to reproduce the issue with the standard visuals - donut and line chart. At this point it is important to mention that I am fetching the data from a database view, which should not make any difference, but still one cannot never know.
Can you share your PBIX? Or provide detailed steps on how to recreate the issue?
hi, Anonymous
After my research, I'm afraid it couldn't achieve that use multiple visuals (In addition to slicer ) for cross filtering in Power BI for now.
So when you apply filter in addition to the second visual, then the filter on the first one is reset.
For your requirement, you could post your new idea in Power BI ideas and make this feature coming sooner .

Hi v-lili6-msft
thank you for your feedback, I will certainly commit the idea to the Power BI ideas section. However, I am somehow disappointed, because for me this is a basic requirement to any reporting tool and I would expect that a BI tool should be able to handle that out of the box, but maybe this is my naivety speaking.
Best regards,
Filip
