There are 3 interactions possible on a TreeMap - Filter, Highlight, and None. My understanding is that the tile in TreeMap will get highlighted when that Category is chosen on another visual and other categories will be blurred. However, I can see no effect on the TreeMap. What am I missing?
| Department | Product | Sales |
| A | 1 | 10 |
| A | 2 | 20 |
| A | 3 | 30 |
| B | 4 | 40 |
| B | 5 | 50 |
| B | 6 | 60 |
| C | 7 | 70 |
| C | 8 | 80 |
| C | 9 | 90 |
With the above data, I have created a Matrix - Product on the Rows and Sales on the Column.
I also have a Treemap visual with Category as Department and Values as MeasureTreeMapSize = 1
Question1:
I am not sure what the Highlight option is supposed to do. I can see no change on the TreeMap when a row is selected on the Matrix.
Question2:
If I click on "C", rows 7, 8, and 9 get filtered. But when I click on any of the filtered rows/Values in the matrix, filtering gets removed and the Rows and blurred except the row that I clicked on. In reality, my matrix has hundreds of rows, so it is hard to find which row is selected/highlighted and go to that row or even remove the selection so that other rows are not blurred anymore. I do not want the filter to be removed when I click anywhere on the matrix or at least the row I clicked to be selected/highlighted as this causes other rows to be blurred. Why is this happening?
@GopVan , High is kind of fill, how much of overall that selected value contains.
You can change that using interactions

Hi @amitchandak ,
Thank you for the response. As stated in your video tutorial, I have used Edit Interactions to control how the visuals behave.
Let me explain the problem more clearly:
Slicer:
If I have a Slicer (tile), I hit on a tile the matrix rows get filtered. Now, if I click on the values or row header part of the matrix, the filtering is still intact and does not change until I click again on the tile.
TreeMap:
Whereas if I have a TreeMap, I hit on the rectangle/ tile, and the rows get filtered. Now if I click on one of the filtered rows, the filtering on the Matrix is removed completely. In the Edit Interactions, I have set that the matrix should NOT affect the TreeMap's behavior. Please see the image below for the steps to test this scenario.
I want the filtering on the Matrix to persist until I hit on the category again (like the behavior of a slicer).
The only reason I am using TreeMap instead of Slicer (tile) is that I want each tile to be a different color.
I have attached the PBIX file as well. Appreciate your help a lot.
