Problem with linking a Decomposition Tree to a definitions table

Hi,  We’ve built a Decomposition Tree in Power BI to visualize our Application Capabilities. Each capability has three levels (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3), and each level has its own code, name, and...

    JavadiSH How is your Decomposition Tree visual configured? It's not clear from your description but overall, no, this is likely not the best use of a Decomposition Tree visual and you might be better off using a simple Matrix visual for this. Sample data and a bit more information could go a long way in helping to figure out a proper solution.

    Agree with GeraldGEmerick. The Decoposition Tree is not the best visual for your use case:

    It doesn't support cross-filtering other visuals in the way you need. For your use case, I'd recommend switching to a Matrix visual instead.

    Why Matrix is better here:

    • Native cross-filtering support - clicking any level automatically filters your definitions table
    • Shows hierarchy clearly with expand/collapse
    • More predictable interaction
