Synchronise drill on multiple visualisations

Hey,

 

Moving over to PowerBi after years of reporting in Excel and more recently business objects. Initially amazed at what it can do but starting to find little annoyances with some of the behaviour. So, in business objects Webi I loved the "Synchronise Drill on Report Blocks" option.

 

For those unfarmiliar, if you had multiple visualisations that shared the same hierarchy, and you drilled one of those say from layer1 to layer2, the other visualisations with the shared hierarchy would also move from layer1 to layer2.

 

In a PowerBi sense i'd expect such an option to be under the "Edit Interactions" option but can't see anyway to achieve this, am I missing something? is there any workaround?

 

Thanks in advance

@AlexHill Looks like a hot idea that is shared with many. Check out the ideas forum, and add your votes/comment here. I would imagine the direct comparison to functionality in another tool might add weight.

Hey Eno,

Thanks for taking the time to reply - i've updated that idea as you've suggested - fingers crossed for a solution soon (but won't hold my breath given it was raised years ago!)
