Issue with Single Selection Slicer Filter another Slicer
Hi,
I'm having trouble making my single-selection slicer filter another slicer. Both slicers are from the same table, but I want column2 slicer to only show O1, O2, O3, and O4 when I select Orange in the first slicer. Currently, when I select Orange, the second slicer doesn't update properly. It stays at one of the values listed under the previous column 1 selection.
Is it possible to make the column 2 slicer change dynamically or select the relevant value by default once the selected value in column 1 changes?
Sample dataset.
| Column1 | Column2 | Column3 |
| Apple | A1 | AppleA1 |
| Apple | A2 | AppleA2 |
| Apple | A3 | AppleA3 |
| Apple | A4 | AppleA4 |
| Orange | O1 | OrangeO1 |
| Orange | O2 | OrangeO2 |
| Orange | O3 | OrangeO3 |
| Orange | O4 | OrangeO4 |
| Banana | B1 | BananaB1 |
| Banana | B2 | BananaB2 |
| Banana | B3 | BananaB3 |
| Banana | B4 | BananaB4 |
Single selection slicer with Column1 and Column2
When I select to Orange from Apple in Column1 slicer, value in Column2 should change to a default value listed under Orange, but it persist on the previous selected values. Is there anyway to fix this or workaround it?
Expected outcome:
edit: attached PBIX as sample file, add table format dataset.

No fix to this minor issue so far; it seems such an idea is a long lingering one in PBI team's backlog ever since 8 years ago ...
