Unable to Highlight Data Series on Legend in PowerBI Web Browser Reports

Good afternoon,

In the past I used to be able to click on each data series in my Legend on line charts to hone in and highlight a specific data series. I no longer have this ability.
I can do this in the desktop version only.


Any help to get this feature back would be appreciated!

Hi @jstein91694 ,

Microsoft's related technical team is already fixing the bug, and the fix is expected to be completed in 2 to 3 weeks, and Desktop will modify the bug in the August release.

 

 

Best Regards

Lucien

Hi @jstein91694 ,

Your question is the same as the following link:

I have reported the problem and will inform you as soon as I have news.

Just as a follow up, I've tried multiple charts across multiple browsers and the behaviour is the same - the highlight functionality has disappeared.

We're having the exact same issue - works as expected in Power BI Desktop.

 

Publish the pbix, and then the highlight won't work. This was definitely working last week.

 

thanks

Hi @jstein91694 

 

I would suggest looking at the report settings in the Power BI Service to see if anything has changed?

I checked and there is nothing different. This is very strange because being able to highlight each data series separately is extremely important.

I also can no longer highlight data series' on my Desktop PowerBI too. This is disappointing.
