    Hello Thomas,

     

    The force selection feature in the new filter visual is a bit confusing. The behavior is the one below.

    This being said, Miguel Myers is aware of this limitation you describe and I think this feature is in the roadmap. Hopefully, we will no longer have phantom selections !

Almost a year later and the force selection option on the slicer is still not working.
I have slicer A that filters the options of slicer B (but not the other way 'round). Slicer B is being filtered to the options I want, but none of them are "force selected", so everything looks blank and awful. I am going back and forth between using a chiclet slicer instead or having a card under each chart that says "Please select from slicer B to view data". I started using PBI about 4 years ago and the chiclet slicer was the best option then and I am quite frankly surprised that it's still the best option now. I'd thought that Microsoft would see the value in the chiclet slicer and learn something.
