Power BI desktop - table does not update when another visual is selected

Hello,

I have a problem in my power BI dashboard.

I am showing some order KPIs in card visuals, and next to these cards a table with some order metadata (order number, order date etc.).

If a dashboard user selects a card (e.g. "orders placed on eCom"), I would like the table to update to only show these orders.

 

I saw this working already on other dashboard, however for whatever reason, it does not work on this dashboard. I have checked if the interactions are enabled respectively excluded, however all good here. Not sure if there is another setting where I need to put my attention to?

 

Thanks

Hi @andi2333 
The cards cannot work as a filter because they don't have any fields that can be used as a filter context, the card's value is just a measure...
But, the new slicer that looks very similar to a card has the functionality of presenting measures.
May be this is the visual that you saw in other dashboards.

Another visual with the same functionality is a multi-row card ( because it works with the same logic as a table)
