Hi everyone,
I am experiencing an issue with Word Cloud visuals in Power BI. I have two Word Clouds on my report, and I want to maintain the filter selection across them.
When I click on one Word Cloud, the other Word Cloud filters accordingly, which is expected. However, when I then click on the second Word Cloud, the initial selection in the first Word Cloud is lost. I need the selection in each Word Cloud to be persistent and not reset when interacting with the other.
Is there a way to ensure that the filter selections remain persistent across Word Cloud visuals? Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi @huseyincenik_28,
When you select a value in the second word cloud visual, the filter selection in the first word cloud visual is deactivated.
Even editing interactions to not affect the first word cloud visual doesn't help.
If you want to keep the selections, I'm afraid you'll have to change the first word cloud visual to a slicer visual.
The selection in the second word cloud visual will not affect the slicer visual selection.
Please see the attached pbix for reference.
