How can I use a bar chart to filter another bar chart?

Hi there,

 

I've searched this question on MS Power Bi Community, all answers led me to editing interactions between two bar charts, but here is my issue:

 

I want to use bar chart A to filter bar chart B, by editing the interaction of A, I made this successful, hower if I click anywhere on bar chart B, all my A's selection will be gone, which as consequence, my bar chart B will become unfiltered. Can anyone help me fixting this issue? Thanks

instruct them, friend. Not all user know Power BI without learning

Thanks, but it doesn't work. I tried it, yes, but pressing the "Ctr" will fix my initial issue, but what about you want to change from one bar in B to another? Pressing "Ctr" makes it becoming a multiple selection. The reason I'm askin this is that we are using bar chart B as a slicer to filter another visual.

Hi, To remain last filters, keep "Ctrl" + Click bar chart B

Thanks, it works but how can we expect a normal user know this trick?
