Visual Interactions not working
cproloffhl1357ReubenLamAnonymousbc_teixeira In my environment, cross filtering is working on all drill down levels. Please check the drill down report in your scenario to see if the issue is gone.

I don't think the visual interactions have anything to do with it working (or not). My report has a financial year slicer on the whole report, the chart we use to drill down filters two other charts but not the 4 KPIs on the same report, lots of custom interactions.
Reading the other comments whether is it working on not seems completely random, which is rather strange.
The only other thing I did recently was I got a notice to update to a new PBI Desktop. So I updated the software, reloaded/refreshed the data model, and republished to the service.
This was using IE 10. I just tried Chrome as well and it works there too.
I put the new version on this week of Power BI and my new projects will not link via the Edit Interactions correctly. If I open a project created before I put on the upgrade the interactions are fine. What's up with that?
Just stumbled upon something that might apply here. While experimenting with drilldown interactions, I noticed that as I drill down through a hierarchy, a cross filtered visualization was not filtering. Once I got to the level I was interested in, I noticed that if I turned off drill down (top right down arrow), the other visual(s) filtered like they should. Also, with no drill down turned on at the level, clicking on any bar or column at that level of the hierarchy allowed cross filtering to occur. Turn drill down back on, cross filtering ceases, and you can continue your drill down and then repeat the process at the next level.
Correct: Turning on drill mode disables the ability to 'select' a bar, and hence filter on it.
