Slicers synchronization

I have 2 multi-select slicers: projects and buildings- based on 2 tables:

 

Project table

ProjectId -primary keyProjectCode
1P1
2P2

 

Building table

BuildingId -primary keyBuildingCodeProjectId -foreign key
11P1-B1
21P1-B2
31P1-B3
42P2-B1

 

The tables are related:

     Project table :Building table:  one to many (1: *)

 

If I select these values in the two slicers

Project Slicer Building Slicer
xP1  P1-B1
xP2 xP1-B2
    P1-B3
   xP2-B1

 

When I deselect project P1, I want(expect): the building P1-B2 will disappear

Project Slicer Building Slicer
 P1 xP2-B1
xP2   

 

But the reality is other:

Project Slicer Building Slicer
 P1 xP1-B2
xP2 xP2-B1

 

Is it possible to achieve what I expect?

Look the table below the slicers... in the slicer "building code" the value P2-B1 remain because is selected, but dont show in table values.

Hi, @LeandroDeodato !

Thank you for your answer!
Sorry, I don't understand your comment... Are you saying this is expected behavior?!

My understanding and expectations may have been influenced by cascading parameters in paginated reports.

Slicers work in a cascade, but if a value is selected and it is not part of the cascade, as soon as you remove the selection from this item, it will disappear from the slicer.

Sorry, my english is horrible.

Hi, @LeandroDeodato !

Thank you for your answer!

Are you saying this is expected behavior? Yes or No 🙂

Yes. unfortunately. if you use a one selection slicer, maybe this dont occurs, but i dont know if you can do this in your report.

show you related please. you have a foreign key in Building table, but dont have this key in project table. try create a key with project code in Building table and related. 

Hi, @LeandroDeodato 

Sorry, my writing mistake : I changed the names of columns

 

Project table

ProjectId -primary keyProjectCode
1P1
2P2

 

Building table

BuildingId -primary keyProjectId -foreign keyBuildingCode
11P1-B1
21P1-B2
31P1-B3
42P2-B1

 

The relation is by ProjectId in the two tables
