Filter Dashboard from selection in Area Chart

Hi,

 

I have an area chart on my layout that has many data points. I want to be able to select one data point and have other charts on the layout be filtered to display their data relative to the selection in the Area Chart. I can do this when I utilize other chart types but for some reason I cannot get the requisite action when the chart is an Area Chart type. 

 

Is this possible?

 

Thank you.

    Hi davidson929,

     

    Area charts don't crossfilter other charts by now. Maybe you could submit an idea here: ideas.powerbi.com

    The paragraph below is cited from official document: basic-area-chart

    "To select an area, click inside that area or along the top line.  Basic area charts do not cross-filter the other visualizations on the report page. However, area charts are a target for cross-filtering triggered by other visualizations on the report page."

     

    Best Regards!
