Dear All,
I am new to PowerBI, I would like to only visualise from a subset of data.
For example, I have several columns with a list of countries, states, districts and then scores. I have three boxplots:
(i) Countries vs scores,
(ii) States vs scores, and
(iii) District vs scores
Usually, If I choose a country e.g. Malaysia in the first graphs. Other states and districts that are not in Malaysia will be grey out and highlighted the Malaysian. Is there a way to just view the States District in Malaysia without the greyed?
Thank you

@MFNH You can change the visual interaction to cross-filter. By default it is cross-highlight.
2. Then select the visual, you will see a filter icon near to other visual. Click on that to activate the cross-filter interaction.

Select the visual and under format in the ribbon, select edit interactions and in the visual choose the filter icon
