Map Highlight bubbles

Hi !

I am trying to see some information in the Map visual tool. Im relating to tables because I have the info in 2 different tables, One for the Installbase and one for the Headcounts. At the same time I have 2 slicers, One that select the information from Installbase(IB) and is called "Channel" has 2 selection in the slicer: Direct/Indirect. The second slicer contains information from the headcount(HC) like the region. You can see in the IMG better:

The issue is that when I tried to select something from the Channel slicer, the blue bubbles dissapear because this slicer is like filtering the information that I have just selected. What I want is tha instead of only seeing the info that I selected, I want to add or see in different colors what we are selecting. I want to see all the info despite what im selecting.

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous 

You can hightlight your bubbles by adding measure into data color.

I build a sample table:

Build two slicer tables without building relationships between them and this table.

Channel = VALUES('Table'[Channel])
Role = VALUES('Table'[One])

Measure:

HighlightColor = 
VAR _SelChannel =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Channel[Channel] )
VAR _SelRole =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Role[One] )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISFILTERED ( Channel[Channel] ) && ISFILTERED ( Role[One] )
            && _SelRole = MAX ( 'Table'[One] )
            && _SelChannel = MAX ( 'Table'[Channel] ),
        1,
        IF (
            ISFILTERED ( Channel[Channel] )
                && _SelChannel = MAX ( 'Table'[Channel] )
                && _SelRole = BLANK (),
            1,
            IF (
                ISFILTERED ( Role[One] )
                    && _SelRole = MAX ( 'Table'[One] )
                    && _SelChannel = BLANK (),
                1,
                0
            )
        )
    )

 Add this measure into the  data color .

Result is as below, bubbles in map will show black by default and will be highlighted in blue when you select slicer.
