Visual Level Filter only works if same column added to Values

I’m assuming your only displaying column values from your table without any measure or aggregated values displayed. In this case PowerBI won’t filter. If you add the column your slicing onany measure or calculated aggregate to your table the filter will work.

If you want to use the hide column trick suggested earlier. You need to first have word wrap in columns turns off then just drag the column width to hide the displayed column you don’t want. (Near trick for sorting on something not displayed in your table)

The other option is to write a measure that returns one of your column values. Say you have column called Product Name. Rather than using product name write a measure called Produnt Bame Disply = FIRSTNONBLANK(table[Product Name])
