Prevent using table as slicer/filter.
I have a report that has various visuals, such as slicers, tables, a map, etc, but only want users to be able to filter via the drop down slicers or the map, but not the tables. I just want the table to be like a read-only visual. Is there a way to make tables read-only and stop users from using a table as a filter.
Thanks in advance
Click on your table, go to the Format tab and click on Edit Interactions and turn off filtering by using the "none" icon (circle with a line through it) for all the other visuals on the page.

Thanks, and although I knew about the "Interation" feature, it didnt really do what I was trying to achieve, and was trying to see if there where any other ways. Eventually, I got it working by creating a new relationship between 2 data sources and using columns for both sources for the table, which created the type of interaction I was after. But Thanks anyway.
Turning off interactions with other visuals helps most of my problem, but is there a way to prevent a user from highlighting a line in the table? Sometimes they accidently click a line in a table and get confused when the rest of the table grays out. Is it possible to make the table completely non-interactive?
