Selections

I found Power BI earlier this week, and my manager and I love what we see so far. 

 

With that said, I have a question.  I have my data model created and relationships established between 4 SQL tables via DirectQuery.  I have 4 matrixes and 6 stacked bar charts on a report; each groups by a field and counts a distinct ID.  When I select something from a matrix, all the other matrixes and bar charts update as expected HOWEVER if i make a selection in another matrix and\or bar chart, all the matrixes and bar charts updates to the current selection. 

 

If there are 1,000 names in the department that I selected, I want to be able to make another selection from another matrix and\or bar chart to narrow those names and export the results.

 

Any help?  I checked the cross filter direction of the relationships, and tested it and t hat doesn't change anything.

 

Thank you.
