How to get slicer to highlight bar chart elements, not just filter the bar chart

[Anonymous]

Hi I'm using Power BI Desktop.

I've placed the slicer on the left of my screen so that I can select one or more options within the slicer (see below).

When I do, I want the line chart or bar chart to the right of the slicer to highlight the relevant elements, not filter them.

At the moment when I select Format > Edit Interactions, I can only filter the associated bar/line chart, not highlight.

How can I highlight?

Thanks.

Slicer with bar charts shownI select an option in the slicer and the bar chart filters, but i want it to highlight.

No, it's not possbile to make slicer to hightlight other visuals only without filtering data. For your requirement, you should use a Table visual and populate corresponding data field. When you click on an entry, it will hight the corresponding bar/line in chart.
