Apply a selection to multiple visuals in a report

  • Article

The supportsMultiVisualSelection feature enables you to select values from one visual in a Power BI report and apply the selected values to all the visuals in that report.

For example, in the Overview page of the Retail Analysis sample:

  1. Select the Total Sales Variance %, Sales Per Sq Ft and This Year Sales by District and District visual. In the Filters pane that appears, under Chain, select Fashions Direct.

  1. Select the Total Sales Variance by FiscalMonth and District Manager visual. In the Filters pane that appears, under FiscalMonth, select Jan.

Screenshot of the Power BI service. A bar chart visual is selected. In the Fiscal Month pane, Jan is selected.

In the report, these selections apply to all visuals that support this feature. The scope of the visuals is now limited to Fashions Direct and January.

    }
