    Hi Alessandro70 

    Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

    In Power BI, slicers act as filter input controls, allowing you to filter tables and other visuals. However, the reverse isn’t possible tables or other visuals cannot filter slicers. This is by design and follows Power BI’s current interaction model. The “Edit interactions” feature lets visuals affect each other, but it does not allow visuals to change slicers, which can limit dynamic reporting options where more bidirectional control is desired.

    If you need visuals to dynamically influence slicer options, it’s a good idea to submit this as a feature request in the Power BI Ideas forum, as MasonMA  suggested.

Hello Alessandro70 

 

If your visuals are on the same page, I'd suggest double checking your 'cross-filtering or highlighting' by clicking on your table visual and going to 'Format pane', then 'Edit interactions'

 

There you can control how visuals interact with each other.

 

However, a slicer cannot be changed by other visuals, which is s a limitation by design.

 

Hope this helps:)
