Drill down date slicer with Matrix

Hi All,

I have a date slicer with year and Month hierarchy. Region and item wise sales data loaded to Matrix visual and columns populated by year, month and date.

The requirement is, I want to filter slicer visual, once drill down to month from Matrix visual. (if drill down to 2019, slicer should only contain 2019.)

Current Situation.

Hi, @haputhanthree 

According to your description, it seems like you want to use the Drill down function in a Matrix visual to slice the date selections in a Slicer, right?

In my opinion, Slicers can not be affected by other visuals in Power Bi except another Slicer. When you drill down or click on one visual in your report page, you can see other visuals be affected because you turned on the “Filter” interaction in the other visuals, but you can’t set these interaction types for a Slicer.

@haputhanthree , I checked join is bi-directional.  I even added a not blank measure(visual level filter) and checked, but it did not filter the slicer values. Slicer is filtering another slicer. But Visual is not. I think this is by design.
