@tamirka

Use the Facet Key Custom Visual

https://app.powerbi.com/visuals/show/FacetKey1642434105453

Drag the Employee Name column to each of these fields - Facet, Instance and Count

That will do it!

hi @Sean

it helps a little bit

the thing is i have 3 elements

the employees

amount of open tickets (bar)

ticket details (table)

lets say i have 10 tickets

if i use a slicer i can pick an employee, let's say John.

the amount of tickets will be filterd to 2 and if i press on the bar, i will see the details of those 2 tickets in the table.

in a facet (correct me if i am wrong), once i prees the bar it will automatically go back to 10 and will show me the division in the facet...

Okay I answered your original question! Smiley Happy

 

Yes indeed with the Facet when you press the bar after its been filtered to 2 it will go back

(believe me I don't like this behavior and I've actually contacted the developer about this and other elements of it)

What do you want to happen when the bar is hit when its filtered (or highlighted) to 2?
