Some visualizations filter the grid but others don't - can we filter on groups

on a page I have a pie chart, a map and a grid.

When a I select a bubble on the map the grid gets filtered on those records only.

but when I select a slice in the pie chart the grid does not get filtered.

What could explain that behaviour?

 

The dimension in the pie chart is a group. I noticed that I when replace the group by the underlying dimension then the filtering works. Can't we use groups for filtering visualizations?

 

Does that mean I  can't use groups and need to create the "group column" in my query instead?

Hi @osinquinvdm,

 

According to your description above, I have tried to reproduce the issue with the latest version of Power BI Desktop. However, it turns out that I can filter on groups, and I was not able to reproduce the issue.Smiley Happy

forget my comment (or not). 

After I removed the base dimension and put the group back, it suddenly started to work as expected.

I probably ran into a weird bug...
