Not able to filter by clicking column in a column chart

I'v been 2 months developing some metrics in Power BI Desktop. I always used filtering by clicking a column, where it gets highlighted when clicked and all dashboard data is filtered by the column or columns clicked. 

Now, I've encountered an issue and is that when I want to use that, a table appears with the column data, but I'm not able to see the dashboard, just the table, and nothing is filtered.

 

Example of a column chart:

What appears when I do click in one:

I tried with Ctrl + Click, Alt + Click, Shift + Click, and nothing worked. I am kind of new in this program, and never happened this to me before, so some help will be grateful. Thanks!

Nevermind, I just cut and pasted the charts and worked again lol. Thank you for your time! Slicers are great but they need some space in the dashboard, keeping it simple is better for me 😉
