How to only visualise selected element from the other graph

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. 

  1. select Format > Edit interactions.

2. Then select the visual, you will see a filter icon  power-bi-filter-icon.png  near to other visual. Click on that to activate the cross-filter interaction.
