Question

Power BI: Why is cross-filtering between two charts (e.g., BET vs DEPOSIT) not working as expected?

When trying to cross-filter between two related charts in Power BI, I want the filtering interaction to apply dynamically across all visuals based on the user’s selections. Why might cross-filtering not be functioning correctly, and how can I ensure the filters maintain consistency across all charts, delivering the expected analysis?

Answer 1

If cross-filtering between charts isn't working:

1. Check Data Model Relationships: Ensure the tables used in both charts are properly related.

2. Use Bidirectional Relationships: Set the relationship to Both under Cross filter direction for two-way filtering.

3. Review Filters/Slicers: Verify that other filters or slicers aren't conflicting with the cross-filtering interaction.

These steps will ensure the cross-filtering works consistently across visuals.
