Helper VSlicer vs visual filters behavior
Hello Community,
I have a case where I would like a slicer to filter in the same way as a visual would do it.
I am using a decomposition tree and if I use a slicer, the 'starting point' is reduced to that slicer selection whereas if I select the same value in a table visual I get the part of the visual that the value contributes to highlighted.
I am looking to get the visual highlighted but using a table for this is annoying since the selection disappears if you click anything. I also just have one value so having a bar chart or similar doesn't really make sense.
Is there a way where I can get slicer to use the same filtering logic as filtering using a visual?

Hello BIanon ,
Between slicers and other visuals there are always only two interactions they are "Filter" and "None".
But between one visual to another visual there are three options "Filter", "Highlight" and "None" and by default "Highlight" will be selected so when you select a value in Table visual its showing a highlighted part in other visual. To fix this as per your requirement, follow below steps:
>> Select Table Visual
>> Click on Format in the top ribbon
>> Turn on Edit Interaction
>> On top of the tree visual you can see three options among them select "Filter" option instead of "Highlight"

BIanonThank you for your reply.
I fear I have may have expressed myself poorly.
I am trying to get a slicer to highlight as opposed to filter so I don't have to use a Table as a slicer.
