I would like to select "Desktop" from 1st slicer and and "Last Week" from 2nd slicer, but as it turns out, i can select only one option from one slicer at a time, i want to highlight only last week values for desktop category,
Note: i tried Hierarchy Slicer from Market, but if i select Desktop/Last week and Mobile/Last week both at a same time, the visual is not being displayed.
The following are the pictures of what i am trying to do here:
Thank you in advance.
I would stick with the regular Slicer as far as possible.
You can make multiple selections by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while clicking. You can also change the Format of the Slicer, under Select Controls turn Single select off. This gives a multi-select UI.

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 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.
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:
Visual level filters
Visual interactions
Hoping this is a simple one to resolve.
I have a dataset, a SQL View, with the data imported into my PBIX. I have a date slicer and a number of tables, matrices and charts, over 2 pages. All update whenever I change my slicer, great.
One of my charts needs to show the last 12 months only. I choose Relative Date Filtering from the Visual level filters, select "is in the last", 12 and months from the various drop-downs. When I click Apply filter, my chart goes blank, even though there is data. When I click off the chart and back on again, the drop-down has changed to Days, not months. I have tried with various different options and always defaults back to days.
My Date field is definitely a Date. I have also tried adding a Date table and using that date too but the same thing happens.
Is it me or is there a bug?
Thanks
I would like to get count of order number and I have multiple slicers which would slice down the value . for one calculation .I would need to ignore all the other slicers except date slicer and get the count of orders.could you please help.
If you want to ignore all the slicers, you can create a measure using the DAX function ALL. And if you want to ignore all the slicers except one, you can use ALLEXCEPT. Those two function will calculate your count based on all the values.
If you have a visual that only shows the count you are referring to, there is another way. You can stop slicers from interacting with the visual you want your count to appear on. So, you can select the slicer, go to Format and the click Edit Interactions and clik the circle (None interaction). Do the same for all slicers you don't want to affect the visual with your count.
