Controlling Visual Interactions

Power BI report pages are interactive by default, with all visuals, excluding slicers, cross-filtered via the selections applied to one visual. While this dynamic filter context is often helpful in exploring and analyzing across dimensions, there is often also a need to exclude certain visuals from this behavior. For example, a high-priority measure reflected in a card or KPI visual may be configured to ignore any filter selections from slicers and other visuals on the page. Additionally, rather than the default highlighting of cross-filtered visuals, it can be beneficial to exclusively display the related values in other visuals.

In this recipe, we provide examples of configuring interactivity between visuals.
