Filter Locking

Hello,

I have a report which is fairly complex, it includes several in-page navigations and buttons. Also, I have a few bar charts on each of those pages that get disturbed when I click on another page within one page. That is why I locked those filters on the visual but it seems that it does not work. How can I fix that?

Thank you all for answering. Unfortunately, I can't take a screenshot because of data confidentiality.

But luckily, I think I found out why was this happening. I was duplicating pages, and the moment I duplicated it, everything else got messed up. When I return it the way it was, it works normally.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, you want the visuals to be unaffected by the filtering, but find that it still doesn't work after you set it, right?

 

How did you set it up, is it like me?

 

In the power bi desktop, select a visual , go to "edit interaction", and set the other visuals to not be filtered, which is the icon in the upper right corner of the view.

This way you can avoid other visuals being affected.

 

I wonder if you set it up this way?
