Filter pane filtering one visual (plus one more)

Hello,

I have set up some KPIs and they each have visualization specific filters.  I also have created a custom title using DAX and I've set that up in a card because the limitations of the KPIs weren't giving me quite what I wanted.  Now, I have to use the filter pane (I cannot use report level slicer) and I need that visualization specific filter to also filter the card and nothing else on the report.  Is there a way to do this?  It's as if I want to "group" the visualizations, when it comes to filter context.

Thanks!

@Anonymous You can add them to visual level filter,

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/power-bi-report-filter

Or can use interactions to have a slicer for the specific filter

@amitchandak I already have the filters set up to be visualization specific within the filter pane.  Adding these filters to the report itself is unfortunately not an option with the requirements.  And we are not able to edit interactions between filters within the report pane, and the report itself I believe?  I'd love to be wrong 🙂

@Greg_Deckler I should mention that I want the user to be able to change the filter - is it not predefined and static.

OK, then use a slicer and use Edit Interactions on the Format tab and edit the interactions such that the slicer only affects those 2 visuals and no other visuals.

@Greg_Deckler I need the filter to be in the filter pane, report level is not an option.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Is your issue solved?

@v-kelly-msft No. I have not yet seen an answer as to how to edit interactions between a slicer in the filter pane and visuals within the report.  Using a slicer on the report level is not an option.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Slicer is a good choice for you ,and you can make it work as a visual-level filter by changing the interactions between visuals.

Here are the references.

@Greg_Deckler does this mean the user would select the KPI - apply the filter and then select the title - apply the filter?  So two seperate filters on two seperate visualizations (but populated by the same field)?
