Ability to select multiple items in a report for cross-highlighting

[abhishek_sreesa]

Ability to select multiple items in a chart say multiple bars, pie's etc and automatically have filters applied to all the existing reports. this helps to highlight anomalies and see all the surrounding reports changes as we do it and showcase risks/opportunities

I agree entirely with this. This needs to be a high priority development for Microsoft, as it is currently one of the few key areas where PowerBI is lagging behind other tools. But overall, the work so far on PowerBI is fantastic.

I agree with everyone here, the ability of selecting multiple items should be priority.

I suggest to give a possibility to use ctrl+shift to copy/paste and move all selected objects parallel vertically or horizontaly

I understand this to be that multiple charts can act as filters within the report/dashboard. This is different than allowing the selection of multiple items within a single chart. I believe this is quite important. For instance, a trended chart + a pie chart for customer groupings can both filter a third object.

Very important asset!! (Like the functionality of Qlik...) That would be necessary for serious Analysis of causes. The easiest way to implement this could be, to make it able to define Slicers as "global". They should then appear in every page of the Report and stay connected. So users can set a slicer in one page and have it set in the next page.

.or it would be nice to have a possibility to 'overrule' a report/page filter, within a visual (filter). Now it merges both filters, so filtering “White” on visual level and “Black” on page level results in “nothing”. As far as I know you can’t influence this behavior. (I know a DAX measure could do this trick, but I am not comfortable having ‘complex logic’ or multiple measures) For instance: you could set ‘last half year’ on the page (to filter most of the visuals and ‘time slicer’ on the page), but you could also add a visual on the same page that shows ‘last 2 years’.

Major limitation, I agree. I'm sure you guys can/will fix it. Example use case: a simple sales report filterable by team name (shows in a bar graph) and also by product category (shown in a donut chart). Not being able to filter by both, when you can filter by either independently, is a confusing user experience and a missed opportunity for insight into the cross-section of the two dimensions.

In my opinion, it is effectively a mandatory figure to do Data Visualization.

This would be extremely useful, as tableau is able to do this and everyone is expecting BI to do it as well. It would definitely help to further narrow down useful info in data sets.

This is certainly needed.
