How to attach filter to several visual objects?

[DongdongYu]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to show different values in a dashboard. I created a lots of 'cards' in the same page, but these cards have to attach different 'filters' by column or row. 

The requirements:

• a 3x3 cards table ( consist by 9 cards , 3 columns x 3 rows ).
• attach filter_1 to column 1, filter_2 to column 2, filter_3 to column 3.
• attach filter_4 to row 1, filter_5 to row 2, filter_6 to row 3
• attach filter_7 to card 1, 3, 5
• attach filter_8 to card 2, 4, 6

you can see from my requirements, i have to attach the same filter to lots of different cards in every where. right now, the only way is click each card, attach lots of filters one by one, it's quite unefficient. 

so the question is, how can I attach a filter to several things in one click instead of attach to all cards one by one to save my time? 

Thanks ~!

Hi @DongdongYu 

Currently Power BI doesn't support adding a filter to several visuals with only one click. As a workaround to some extent, you may try the new Card visual. You can add multiple fields to a new card visual. It will display them in different cards. When you add a filter on the new card visual, it will affect all cards in it. However as some of your filters need to cross different cards, this cannot meet your requirement completely.

@DongdongYu 

you can use the interaction and select which filter to interact with specific cards and visuals. 

im afraid there is no other way .

Sorry, I don't have the knowledge to fix my problem by 'interaction', so I changed my solution to avoid this kind of issue.  

But thanks for your help. Thanks ~!
