dynamic bar chart sorting from pie chart
I have pie chart which shows data by industry and a bar graph which shows data by occupation. When i click one of the industry, the bar graphs also updates dynamically but sorting remains the same and does not change based on highest occupation within that industry. Images attached... first image shows retail occupation as highest and in second image I choose health and education as industry. I would expect the bar graphs to update the sorting where "secondary and elementary" should come first, but retail still remains first. Can i change this behavior?
sshekar7 - If you want to do this you need to change the interaction from the pie chart to the bar chart.
When your pie chart is selected go to the "Format" page in the top menu and select "Edit Interactions" then you will see some new icons in the top of your bar chart with "Highlight" selected change this to "Filter" instead.

Awesome Jenson... learnt something today about interactions!
No the way that the cross highlighting works is that it shows the values in the other tables in the same order to make it easier to show what the related values are. If you want to filter the data you can use slicers, this will filter the data and reoorder everything.
Hope this helps,

Got it.. Thanks Kasper for quick response...
would be better if there was an option where i could choose if i want to sort by highlighted value or original value.
May be future updates... for now i will use slicer.
