Select a row in grid/matrix and use as visual filter?

Is there no way to select a row in a table or matrix and use it to filter other objects?

 

For example, if I have a bar chart that lists all States and population I can click the bar and it will filter other things on the page.

 

However, what if I don't want to chart it, I just want a grid that shows State Name, and Population, THEN.... I want to click on "Nevada" and have it filter the other objects on my report.

 

There does not seem to be anyway to do that?

Hi @OneWithQuestion,

 

You can update the Power BI desktop to March version 2.44.4675.521. There is a Matrix preview which supports cross-filter and cross-highlight. For more information, please take a look at this article: Use the new Matrix visual in Power BI Desktop (Preview).
