Linking a table to slicer

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I'm hoping to get some help/advice with linking a table to other slicers in my report. For some context, the report has been created in a school environment to represent student data.

The first page in my report contains a table with student names, which filters data displayed in an adjacent clustered column chart. By using a table instead of a slicer, the data in the column charts is represented in a more meaningful way (with semi-transparent bars reflecting cohort averages; pictures supplied for context) - this function does not appear to be available when the table with student names is changed to a slicer. My problem, though, is that I am unable to link the table to slicers on other pages in the report, which require repeated selection of an individual student name on different pages. 

Can anybody advise on how I can link tables to slicers on other pages in the report? 

Thanks in advance,
Campbell

Hi @Anonymous ,

We only can sync slicers to all the pages. It is not supported to sync the result of clicked values. For the compared values in pic 1, I think you could create formulas and put them into charts while using slicers. You could reference the document: Slicers in Power BI to learn how to sync slicers.

And you could vote up the idea: Chart click should filter across pages  and submit comments to get the featured fixed quickly.
