Slicers interaction

Hi,

 

I am having trouble with the following example (datas are at the bottom of my post) :

Uhrond_0-1623074952027.png

Two slicers on which you can only select one value.

If I select "Apple", then "Vegetable" disappears from the "Family" slicer and I can't make it reappear.

 

The first solution I found is to disable the interaction between them :

By doing that, I can have this situation :

I select "Vegetable" > "Carrot" and then I switch to "Fruit". Carrot remains selected.

Is there a way to unselect "Carrot" when I change to "Fruit" ?

 

I tried to make a simple exemple. And sorry for my English which may not be very good.

Thank you for your help !

 

PS : Here are my data :

 

FamilyItem
FruitApple
FruitOrange
FruitPeach
VegetableCarrot

Hi @Uhrond ,

 

To my knowledge, when you disable the interactions(Item --> Family) between the two slicers, then no matter what value is selected in the Item slicer, it will not affect the Family’s.

You could just use a single slicer to put Family and Item together:

Hi @Uhrond ,

 

Did you try making your slicer multi-select rather than Single-select?

 

Thanks,

Appreciate your Kudos!!

If I choose multi-select, I will potentially display false data in my views by adding carrot data and apple data. These data are independent and summing them does not make sense.

 

Thanks
