PBI Dropdown Filters applys on all visuals/ Different dropdown filters on different visuals

Hi together,

 

with our report, we want to ensure that two customer/country data (turnover, margin, qty) can be compared with each other.

The data of one customer/country should be shown on the left and the data of the other customer/country on the right. So that our sales staff can then compare the different customers/countries.To filter in the report itself, we use a drop-down filter.

 

The problem here is that the dropdown filters always refer to all visuals. Is there any way of setting which visuals are filtered by which dropdown filter? Or is there an alternative to the dropdown filter where our goal can be achieved?

 

We would very much appreciate your help!

You can group the visuals that you want to filter with the slicers: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-grouping-visuals and combine that with edit interactions to prevent each slicer from filtering visuals not in its group: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-reports-visual-interactions?tabs=p...
