How to select elemnts to show in table view

Hi everyone,

 

I want to have table visual an to display only the value, which was selected on scatter plot, which has same inputs. And, if no element is selected, then table visual will display empty.

Custom Visuals are able to detect selection by Highlighting property.

However, there's no way to detect a filter that can be applied by native Slicer, Chiclet Slicer, Timeline Slicer, etc.

Default Power BI behavior is to show all of data-point if no items are selected on another visual.

It'd be better to follow this behavior for all of custom visuals as well since users expect that.

I'm not sure that got your question.

What do you want to sort?

@v-viig,

 

I want to display only selected data from another visual, for example scatter plot, so when I click on scatter plot, table visual automatically display value. So, I wanted to sort data if there are selected values, if so, I show them, if not - visual stays without data.
