How to filter... a filter without using bidirectional option

[paolomint]

Dear all,

Just to explain the problem, I create a very easy model:

If I filter by costumers, Items filter don't change:

How can I link those filters?  How can I  filter items by costumers (also the other way around: filter costumers by items) without using the bidiretional filter option?

Here you are the pbix file:

You can create a measure like below: 

SalesFilter = COUNTROWS(SALES)

 Then assign it to the visual filter of the slicer and set it to "Not is Blank"

@paolomint without crossfilter you cannot do it except you have to create visual level filters for the slicers, this post will help Filter slicers without using bidirectional filters in Power BI - SQLBI
