Desktop vs Bi Service: Visual Interactions to Filters Slicers
Microsoft EmployeeHi duplo,
Based on my test, whether in desktop or in service, interact filter between visual and slicer is not supported. We can only use slicer to filter visual. Clicking any item in a visual doesn't affect the available selections in slicer.

Hi & Thanks,
First i was puzzled by your reply, I was so sure. But after going over and investigating vanilla slicer behaviour I realise now that I was way to general in assuming all slicers are created equal.
Specifically my question is related to the "Attribute Slicer" and "Table Sorter" custom visuals. I just assumed they were beefed up variations of a normal slicer as they can slice and filter both visuals and other slicers... and thought the same applied to vanilla slicers as well. Sorry for the confusion...
So, my question then.... :smileyhappy:
The Attribute Slicer and Table Sorter, which seems to be some form of hybrid slicer/filter, or?:
In Desktop Version: Interacting with visuals can filter both the Attribute Slicer and Table Sorter, it works like a charm in both ways
....
In Bi Service: Attribute Slicer and Table Sorter seems to loose their awesome "hybridness" and are unaffected by other visuals. Only other slicers (incl Attribute Slicer, Table Sorter, vanilla slicer) can filter them.
Do you know if this is a limit by design or something im doing wrong?
Thanks,
