Matrix to filter a Slicer

Power BI
1

Hi,
I would like to find out whether it is possible for a selection from within a Matrix can filter a Slicer. I know that a Slicer can filter a matrix so I would like to carryout the reverse filtering. Is this a possibility?

For example, if I have business units in the matrix and I select one of those values can this value then be used to filter a slicer which represents the next layer down in the business unit hiearchy?

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Hello @Kazza,

Thank You for posting your query onto the Forum.

Well, as far as I know of, there’s no functionality in Power BI which supports reverse filtering i.e., from visuals to slicers. And there’re no recent updates from Microsoft as well in this regard.

I’m also providing a link of some similar posts which were posted onto the Microsoft Power BI Community Forum confirming the same about it.

Thanks and Warm Regards,
Harsh

Thank you very much Harsh. I will look at what you’ve provided.

I was hoping though for some kind of workaround. Thanks anyway for providing the confirmation for this!
