Filter context not passing into Tooltip page
Yes we did already found the "synced slicers" workaround. It still looks like a crutch though, and a clumsy one.
Concept: we need to control which fields are used to filter out the results on the tooltip page.
Theory: the product already has this functionality by allowing us to explicitly select these fields on the tooltip page's settings
Reality: it's not working the way the product UI implies. Instead, we have to implement a crutch (invisible synced slicer on a tooltip page) to achieve exactly the same outcome.
Super UserHi Anonymous ,
This has to do with the way the interactions work within each visualizations and with other visualizations, the way that power BI passes the filters to the tolltips based on other visualizations is based on the keep all filters, if this is coherent or not you can place an improvement in the ideas part of the forum.
Regarding you specific issue and turning off the keep all filter if you add the slicer of the SKU on the tooltips, making it sincronized with the other slicer and hiding it on the tooltip page, then you can turn off keep filters and things will work as you need.
Check PBIX file attach.
Just giving alternatives, and again for me this behaviour makes sense because of the way the interactions and filter context works within visualizations, but I understand your arguments about the fact that is not coherent.

Has I refered believe this has to do with the filter context passed trough the interactions between visualization, and you cannot have interactions between two visuals on different pages, so for me this makes sense how is build.
However I agree with you that in some scenarios may not be what people need or maybe there is the need to the same way the drill trough works for the tooltips.
As refered you can search if someone posted this idea on the forum and vote for it or create a new one.
Glad you were abble to solve it.
