How to use a Table for page filtering

Hello all of you brilliant folks, I have a puzzle for your creative minds.

I would like to use a single-column Table object for user interaction instead of a Slicer in List format. I've included a pbix to explain, but Table objects look much nicer and are easier to read, however, the selected value(s) do not drill-through to other pages like a Slicer would. Is there a way to do this such as a hidden Slicer that uses the same selected value(s) as the Table?

Instead of using this:

I'd like to use this:

Much thanks!!

@Anonymous , If you do Ctrl+click on Table, it filters other visuals on more than one item. Check the same with Drill through

You're right, and that filters fine one that same page. How do you get that select value(s) (one or many) to go to the next pages? I tried the adding the field to the drill-through fileds area (starting with the destination page), but that doesn't work.

@Anonymous , I tried out, Drill Through did not work with multiple selections. I tried with the button too, Drill Through button got disabled when I selected multiple values on the table using ctrl.  And Page Navigation option did not pass it correctly.

Need to suggest an idea. https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/

You are correct. That's the issue I've run into also. So it begs the question, have any thoughts that might make that work? 🙂
