Ive got a simple question....
Is it possible to change the values in a barchart based on a selection in another visual ?
For example.... I have a matrix with different projects and values in them and a barchart that show the values based on the matrix.
Obviously i can use a slicer or a dropdown but is it possible that when I select a project in the matrix the barchart just shows that project ?
The barchart now just highlights the values in the barchart based on the selection and greyes out the rest but i want the selection in the matrix to result in a filter so that the barchart only displays that project in stead of greying out the rest
Solved! Go to Solution.

HI @RonaldvdH ,
Yes this is a default capability in Power BI known as visual interactions where every visual on a report page can interact with other visuals.
For more details see this microsoft documentation:

Thanks,
