Interactions on Power BI Desktop not working

Hello,

 

i've got a report where i show 3 tables: A) contract header -> B) line contract -> C) invoices , related using 1:n from "left to right".

A contract can have multiple lines, and each line can have multiple invoices related

 

In the canvas, they are displayed like this:

B

C

... where the interactions are: 

A can only change B
B can only change C

But the result, is, when i select a line of B, i change the filters on A, so in fact, "B changes C but also changes A"

 

Could this be a Power BI glitch? Or am I missing something here.

Regards

It depends.

 

It depends on the order of the fields in your visual. It depends on which table you took the field from. It depends on you enabling/disabling "Show items with no data".  And it also depends on the data model phenomenon called "Auto exist"

Hello, 

thanks for your answers, but in fact it doesn't work, it should be related with one of the points mentioned by @lbendlin , to whom i left a kudos.

 

Thanks

Make sure you have single direction relationship between A> B>C. With my test, this kind of relationship should interact as you expected.
