Hi Anonymous,

 

The requirement that to update the slicer according to the selection in another visualization is not achievable. Interaction filters doesn't work from visualization to slicer. For this feature request, you could submit an idea at this page.

Thank you for your response Yuliana. I must admit that I am more than a little surprised that such basic functionality has not been considered before now in such a powerful tool. Seeing my objective, to be able to filter across pages using visualizations, is there a way that this can be done? My whole objective with updating a slicer with the visualization click is so that the slicer would then dynamically update another page that contains the supporting data for my dashboard. Is this feasible with Power BI, or should I abandon Power BI and look for another solution?

 

Thanks again

    You can enable the sync slicer across report pages following this document.
