I am trying to compare Charts and KPIs in PowerBI report. In fact, face the same figures tables but with different slicing values (time room, countries...)
I could only create two tabs with basically the same slicers and visualization. But I couldn't put them one aside the other that apply to that tab.
Can anyone help me with this.
Many thanks,
You have several options, here are the simplest two:
Use visual level filters to display two visuals with different filtering
There are three levels to the Filters sub-pane - "visual", "page" and "report" - they control the scope of a filter.
When editing a visual, you can drag any data field to the Filters sub-pane's "visual" field-well and configure a filter affecting only that visual.
As a simple example: for a table with "Sales" and "Country" columns, you can create one KPI visual showing sales and configure its filter to "UK", then create another KPI (or just copy the first one) and configure its filter to "France" etc. Using this approach you can create several KPI visuals in the same page, each displaying sales data for a different country (Tip: you'll probably want to edit their titles so that viewers can tell which KPI shows what).
Use Edit Interactions to have slicers that affect only some visuals on the page
In Power BI Desktop, go to Format tab in the ribbon and click "Edit Interactions". This causes each visual to display several small buttons on its top right corner - these control how the active visual affects each other visual (typically you can select between "highlight", "filter" and "no interactions", note that not all visuals supports all three options).
As a simple example with the same table from above, you can create two KPI visuals showing sales and two slicers filtering by country. Then, edit the interactions so that one slicer affects only one KPI and the other slicer only affects the other KPI. This will create an interactive report with two KPIs comparing sales between any two countries - according to the user's actions on the slicers.
Finally, these posts from MS Power BI have detailed tutorials (including screenshots) for the two options described above:

I have two different visuals on the same page of a Power BI doc, but one is being affected by the page slicer while the other one isn't. I have other visuals on the same tab that I want to slice by the slicer, so I want to select which visuals are affected by the page-level slicer.
Visual that isn't being affected by slicer
Visual that IS being affected by slicer
I followed the tab for "Control which page visuals are affected by slicers" on this site but it's not working. I want the second visual series to look like the first, how do I do it?
On the Power BI Desktop menu, select the Format menu under Visual Tools, and then select Edit interactions.
You need to have the slicer selected. Only then you see the according Filter on/off symbols next to the visuals. When the visuals are close to each other it's sometimes hard to tell which filter switch belongs to which visual. Try pulling them temporarily apart.
I have a scenario where I am using date and country slicers along with maps in my report along with some stacked charts.
When I click on the map for one country it filters the data based on that country I have selected but the filter is not reflected in slicers.
Is there any way that I can use the map only to display the counts without having select, in other words, no selection allowed on the maps?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!
Go to Format tab and select Edit Interaction option as shown in the below image. Now select your Map visual and set Filter = None in other visuals you don't like to interact when click on the Map.
When I work in Power BI Desktop connected to SQL Analysis Services, my model looks like this,
Enter image description here
And the "Fields" tab on the right spans for more than a page long:
Enter image description here
In reality I actually use only a few tables and a few columns in those tables + my measures.
To simplify that look, I can go to ellipses near each tables title, and hide that particular table. I also can do this on "model" tab, but in my case, when I have a few dozens of tables, it is time consuming.
Is there a way how to "hide" all not used tables and columns, to help report consumers to comprehend the model and my calculations?
You can also easily hide multiple fields in Power BI Desktop. The best place to do that is to go into the Model tab. Then select all fields that you want to hide (using Ctrl or Shift with selection), and then in the Properties tab beside it, turn the Is Hidden property to On.
I have a filter for different customer categories- Platinum, Gold, Silver, Iron
& two bar graphs for customers and products.
I want that when I select a category from the filter, the graphs should show only those customers and products with the help of edit options.
Can you please help?
If your filter columns are in any way linked to the chart (same table, relationship between two different tables is active) this should work automatically.
However it could be that someone tunred the interaction off. To see the interaction icons click on your filter visual and go to Format > Edit Interactions. Now you will see on all the other charts/filter this two symbols:
If the left diagram icon is grey: This means your selected visual will interact with this visual.
If the right circle icon is grey: This means your selected visual will not interact with this visual.
I have a simple (one table) report with the following columns: Date, Amount, Category and Subcategory.
I try to create a page with three visualisations.
The first one is for the amount/date (vertical bar chart). The second one is for amount/categories (treemap). The last one is for amount/subcategories (treemap).
I have created hierarchy for date and categories.
When I select a column in the amount/date, the visualisation of the bottom ones filters OK.
The problem that I have is that when I click on the amount/category treemap the amount/date bar chart resets its selection and the amount/category shows all the categories across all the dates.
I have tried to prevent this by setting the interaction to "No Impact" on the amount/date visual, but it didn't help.
How do I create "One Way" interaction between visuals?
If you CTRL-click, you can make multiple selections. If you click normally, then regular visuals will replace filters on other visuals.
Slicers are a special visual type whose selections don't get overridden by selections in other visuals.
