Hi Millar 
You can create a flag measure that checks if some value of the graph is selected. 
For example, if my graph rankin some measure by-products that will look like this:

Now you can use this test measure to filter a table : (note that you have to have different columns at the graph and table)

To make the user's life easier, you can use conditional formatting on the title that will guide him to make a selection from the graph if the table is blank.
You can create a measure for the title of the table like :

and to use conditional formatting by value to put it :

and to make it red use conditional formatting of the title color
