    Hi , Anonymous 

    I watched your video, the slicer manually selects the current filtering context, and since the "Table %" in your [Percentage] does not have a corresponding "index" in the [Footprint], you will not see "Table %" after you select "index". If you want to see the "Table %" option, you can toggle the "index" option for [Footprint].

    Because the row headers in your visual are from another table and vary based on the current filtering context, we can't force modify the row headers under the "index" filtering context.

Hey, v-yueyunzh-msft I have gone this route it doesn't actually solve my UX problem. 

Please watch this loom link --https://www.loom.com/share/7de88926bde04e929b66b13db9150ed2

 

The problem is when I have this enabled and select Column % and Index, the Table % option vanishes from the filter selection.

 

If you cannot watch this, by any chance, the gist of the video is the following:

When someone has column % selected in Percentage and Index selected in Footprint, then they want to see Table % in Percentage, so they change it. But Index is still selected in the Footprint filter. So the following view shows up. 

 

The client doesn't want to see this. They want Size in Footprint to be automatically selected when they select Table % in Percentage.

      Thanks for explaining this. I can at least go to my client and say why this is not possible.
