How to cross filter from a visual to a slicer?

I am trying to show only the items in my slicers that have values if I make a selection from my charts or table. I can see my visuals all cross filter to other visuals, but they don't remove the categories from the slicers that at not applicable. Can someone please tell me how I do this?

Hi @justlogmein ,

 

As per my understanding its not possible  to show only the items in slicers that have values if you make a selection from charts or table,the vice a versa can be done.

Instead of slicer you can use matrix or table.

Hey @justlogmein ,

 

that depends on your data model.

Usually the matrix/table contains the facts and the slicer contains data from dimensional table. And in a typical star schema the connection from dimensional table to fact table is 1:* unidirectional. This means if you filter or select something in the fact table the connection is not possible to the dimensional table to filter the slicer.

 

For that you would have to put the filter direction into bidirectional what then has a few other disadvantages.

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

I see. I only have a single table, is there some simple way to have the visuals filters the slicers?

Hi @justlogmein 

 

Till now its not possible in Power bi.

@justlogmein I just checked, @Preeti_Yadav  is right. Even when you do a 1:* relationship bidirectional or a 1:1 bidirectional the slicer will not be filtered
