Filtering by Legend
You can use the slicer visual, and i think by using this your other problem will also go away.
Add the slicer to your dashboard and add the axis from your bar chart.
Is slicer the only option? I have a legend with cca 20 items (that don't fit above or below chart) and using a slicer is like duplicating the legend list.
Using just the legend would be an ideal solution.
Thank you.
Did you ever find a solution to this?
I have the same type of question - Here is a possible reason to filter by legend. I have a map that displays Work Order locations at an airport on a map visualization. I want to use the colored type of Work Order legend (same colors as bubble GPS locations on the chart). Right now, clicking on the legend only results in highlighting the selected legend in bubbles (very difficult to see this selection)- I want to "filter" out other legend displayed bubbles using the selected legend. Using the legend removes my need to add a slicer to accomplish this filtering. Why have an additional slicer when I can just select the legend and remove all other bubbles on my GPS map? Thanks for any ideas on how to use the legend as a filter.
