Drill-down should drill or cross-filter other visualizations on the page

I have a report page with multiple charts and visualizations. Let's say one of the chart shows Sales by Year and I drill down into 2013 to see the sales by month in 2013. Currently, the drill-down has no effect on the other charts and visualizations on the page; they still show data for all years, not just for 2013. Instead, I'd like other charts to drill down into 2013 or filter by 2013 as well.

Well this is exciting! We've just shipped the December release of Power BI Desktop, and I'm very pleased to say we've added the ability to apply filters from a visual when you drill into it. This is now the default for any new visuals; you can turn it on for existing visuals (or disable it if you don't want it) through the Format tab. Look for "Drilling filters other visuals". Hope you like it! thanks!

Hi.

This was the first thing my customer noticed and marked as bad. Customer was confused by getting unexpected (all) data on other charts if drill-down is used. Such report behavior is very difficult to explain and was rejected by the customer.

Please fix this ASAP!

This would also eliminate something that seems like a bug to users:
1) Drill down a chart from Year, clicking on 2013 to expand to months.
2) Choose 2015 in a slicer. All other tiles update, however the Chart now is blank because it is filtered to 2013 and the slicer is filtered to 2015. Most users don't realize or understand what is going on.

This functionality would be extremely helpful for my HR dashboard- to be able to drill down to a certain level and have headcount, turnover, and demographics data reflect the same criteria
