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!

This is a MUST HAVE for operational uses of Power BI on mobile. Ridiculous it is still not supported

Agreed. If you drill down in a bar chart visualization, eventually you get down to a granular lists. Showing that list as a bunch of bars with "1", filling up the screen is useless. Maybe just allow the drill down capability to change chart type at each level of hierarchy. Then you can format each level how you want to see it.

PowerBI still has a long way to catch up to Qlik and Tableau

Any update on this from Microsoft? It has been 'Under Review' since Nov 2014?!

If you care about mobile users, like real users, like managers on the go ask them what they miss...unswer is above. Really needed. Giving 1000 votes.

I have seen a number of calls for this request since 2013. For example:

https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/785853/power-view-cross-filtering

This behavior is so counterintuitive that it may be a deal breaker for our university. We consider this a very fundamental feature for any dashboard building technology.

Global filters/slicers would be a nice add. I would really like a way to apply one filter to all pages.
