Table visual interaction

Hi

 

If i click inside a column of a table visual, the row will be hilghlighted, and it feels kinda pointless. 

I would like to be able to click inside a column and then the value will be filtered. My users are accustomed to this behaviour using Qlikview.

Is this behaviour possible to accomplish in PowerBI?

Do you get desired functionality if you convert your table to a matrix?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I agree with @mahoneypat . Try to use a Matrix visual. You can get this:

If Matrix visual could meet your requirements, it is suggested to accept @mahoneypat 's reply as solution to your question so that people who may have the same question can get the solution directly. 

 

If not, please let us know.

 

 

Best regards

@Anonymous , if you click inside the table, that row will highlight in that table but can filter other tables and visuals.  The same table is not possible but other visual you can use the cross filter

Yes, but i do not want to cross-filter the unique row, but the value for the column.
If i click the value red for example, I want to filter all rows with the value red in the visual.

 

@Anonymous , if it matrix the filter value should be part of the row of the column. In the case of the table it should be unsummarized. and the data in two visual should be related
