In Power BI, my donut chart displays the population percentages for each country, like 25% for the USA and 30% for Canada. When I choose a country in the slicer, such as the USA, the chart shows 100% for that country. But I want it to always display the overall country percentage, which is 25% for USA, even when I select a specific country. Alternatively, I want the selected country to be highlighted while the others become opaque. If I disable the slicer interaction in edit mode, the chart displays all countries without any change when I use the slicer.
Is there anyother way when i select country USA in slicer Donut chart highlights that country but should or show that country % which is 25% not 100%
| Country | % |
| USA | 25% |
| Canada | 30% |
| China | 10% |
| India | 5% |
| Australia | 2% |
Appreciate if you can attach Pbix.
Thanks for helping

Hi @AnkurSharma ,
The following article mentions the highlighting options that can be set for visual objects:
Change how visuals interact in a report - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
But as far as I know, Power BI does not support the use of cross-highlighting in donut charts; donut charts only support cross-filtering and None. Unable to implement selection in highlight slicer.

For your requirement to display the overall percentage, you can additionally create another visualization object, using the following dax expression:
Total = CALCULATE(SUM(Tabelle1[%]),ALL(Tabelle1))
Final output:
