Multi-select data in multiple visualizations in the same dashboard without holding CTRL key

Dear all,

I need to select data from several visualizations (for example: in a pie chart and a table as in the screenshot) without holding CTRL.

Is there an option to allow this

is there a particular reason why you don't want to hold ctrl? If you deploying on ipad you can just hold the touch for the ctrl.

Hello @RayWu ,
Thank you for your answer. 

the fact of holding CTRL to make the multi-selection of several visualizations makes the dashboard less intuitive, that's why I'm looking for an alternative.

I wonder if you have a solution for this.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hello,

 

Other than using CTRl , you could add a slicer with the dimensions needed and then you could multi-select.
