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

This would be incredibly helpful

What is really missing in Interactions is one simple feature: The ability to click on SEVERAL visuals to slice the report. Currently the users only can click one. The click on another visual "removes" previous selection, so the users loose their "data exploration thought flow"... For instance, I have two bar charts (Product and Country) and one table. I would like to click on "Bicycles", then click on "USA" so the table shows only sales of Bicycles in USA. Currently, when I click "USA", my previous "Bicycles" selection is removed. Please add this option to keep all the selections from different visuals. Thank you

SUGGESTION: If the user holds CTRL and click in another visual, Power BI should keep the existing cross filtering.

I build a report that uses several visuals as filters, but when I select a value from a visual, automatically the other selections in other visuals are cleared and it is not possible to complete the analysis, being necessary to include slicers on the canvas, reducing the space available for other visuals.

Yes, this really needed. And this I something that makes it difficult moving from QlikView/QlikSense as the users are used to this feature. Once you have it, you can live without it.

It's a MUST!

It should be possible to use visuals more like slicers and have the option to maintain their filter in addition to a new one when another visual is selected if, say, CRTL is held down (essentially do the same thing you can do in a single visual and select multiple categories but do it across multiple visuals and the categories withing them). Although this is not exactly what I am looking for but may be relevant, the Sankey custom visual appears to maintain its highlighted segment by default even if another visual filter is applied.

Visual interaction require lots of improvements, it is confusing a lot. The cross filtered graphs should show only relevant data based on the first click. The highlight and dehighlight is not useful when there are many items in X axis / Y axis.
