Hi @Anonymous 

If the first visual is a slicer, your requirement could be achieved.

But if the first visual is other visuals, when you click on the second or third visual, the first visual will change according to the interactions among these tables.

It is a limitation in Power BI currently.

There is a pbix which i use slicer as the first visual to achieve your requirement.

 

Best Regards
Maggie

So, I believe you will want to use Edit Interactions to make your 2nd chart NOT filter your first chart. Then you should be able to filter your first chart and would then hold down the Ctrl key to select the item in the 2nd chart.
