Filter a page using a slicer or by clicking bar chart when the 'edit interactions' is turned off

Hi All

I have a year and month slicer which filters the visuals on my page with the exception of the 12-monthly bar charts.

I've turned off filtering of the bar charts by the slicers via the "edit interactions" feature. This is so a rolling 12 months of data is always displayed (and not just the filtered month/s in the slicer).

Is there a way to also filter the page (and change the slicer selections at the same time?) by clicking on a month in the bar chart? I still would like to highlight the 12-months of data to be shown as below:

I've searched but can't find anything on how this could work so I'm not sure it can.

Many thanks for any advice/help.

Hi @onedayover ,

 

Unfortunately, it is impossible to filter the page by clicking on a month in the bar chart.

 

When you select a value on a visual, it interacts with other visuals besides the slicer. And the slicer won't be changed.

Slicers interact with other visuals only when you select a value on the slicer.
