Multiple selection in matrix with mutiple levels, using CTRL

Hello,

 

I have a matrix with on the rows, a group and an item, like:

 

Group 1

      Item 1

      Item 2

      Item 3

Group 2

      Item 4

      Item 5

      Item 6

Group 3

      Item 7

      Item 8

      Item 9

 

So to see items 1, 2 and 3, you have to open group 1 with the +.

What I want is to select mutiple items. For example item 4 and 5, so the other visuals get filtered by my selection. Selecting for example, group 2 and 3, is not a problem. Click group 2, press CTRL and click group 3. But the use of CTRL doesn't work with selecting multiple itemst.

 

Is this just an impossibility or is there some kind of option to make this possible?

@BK1234 Not possible in the current functionality. Have you looked into the HierarchySlicer? That might fit your needs.

@Seth_C_Bauer Too bad, but thanks for your reply!

I am aware of the hierarchy slicer but was trying to avoid have to add an extra slicer on my page.
