Edit Interactions not working

[andrew_wellman]

On my report, I have a slicer that determines which metric is displayed on the line graph. All other visuals on the page are set for "No Interaction" using the edit interactions function. Upon report reload, the visuals that should not be interacting, are being filtered by the slicer. changing the selection in the slicer will enable all visuals to display appropriately. After which, you are able to change your slicer to the preffered option, and everythings works accordingly.

Img 4: Limited to 1 selection in slicer

Img 5: Interaction setup (there are many shapes placed as backgroup components and multiple card visuals, hence the multiple interaction options for a metric)

Hi @andrew_wellman ,

It sounds like you're encountering an issue with how the slicer interacts with the parameter in your Power BI report. Here are some of my personal thoughts:

1. Parameters in Power BI can sometimes behave differently compared to direct measures, especially when it comes to interactions and filtering. Since your primary metric is stored in a "Metric" parameter that switches between measures, this could be causing the unexpected behavior upon report reload.

You can look at this document:

2. Even though you've set the visuals to "No Interaction," the parameter might still be influencing the visuals indirectly. This could be due to how parameters are processed during the report's initial load.

I should also add that this is a single data source in play - no relationships. 

The primary values are stored in a "Metric" parameter that switches between measures. The Compare to and Variation values are a multi-card that is also based off of the selected "Metric", but is a combination of several measures (compare value, difference, % difference)

It is interesting that the multi-card metrics are not impacted by the slicer (as expected) but the primary metric is. 

Could this be because I am using a parameter to switch between the measures and should rather be using the measure itself?
