Strange Behavior with Power BI Word Cloud Filter Interaction with Table Visual

I'm experiencing strange behavior with Word Cloud filtering interaction with a Table.

 

If I start with this arrangement:

If I then click on a "word" in the Word Cloud, the wrong table items are filtered. Like this:

(The IM02 in the table should be NC01...like what's in the Word Cloud.)

If I change the Word Cloud to a Slicer and pick the same "word", I get the correct table filtering interaction, like this...

 

Before you ask, I've got the visuals' interactions set up like this...which is the default:

(So it ought to be filtering correctly, I would think.)

 

Is there a known issue with the Word Cloud visual's filtering? 

Need Help

    Thanks Anonymous. I submitted the issue and kept searching.

     

    I finally found this post from Gopa: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/WordCloud-Visualization-is-not-Filtering-records-correctly/idi-p/140823. It appears that having blanks in the list throws the Word Cloud visual off its game. (Thank you for the post @Gopa!)

     

    @v-haibl-msft responded to @Gopa, "I’ve reported it internally to Power BI Team: CRI 32963561." @v-haibl-msft said the fix had an ETA April 15, 2017. I guess that estimate was a bit off since it's now May 27, 2017.

     

    Bottom line: For now, replacing the blanks with text makes the Word Cloud filter correctly.

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    I can't reproduce your issue, it works on my side, perhaps you can submit this issue and detail information to power bi custom visual team.
