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!

I think this is the last standing comparative advantage that Qlik has over powerBI, hope to see this feature in very soon as everyone else said it is a MUST !

Glad to hear this is planned...this is more critical than some might think. Big time show-stopper on a project....managers and business users don't understand why this can't be implemented.

We are presenting this as a concept to our CEO and this is a MUST have to get sign off for the tool!

Definitely a make-or-break feature for us where several projects are concerned.

Highly appreciated. My workaround is now one big view instead.

A decent SSAS tabular shows inconsistent data, because the filtering is not applied to other visuals.

Every time I present Power BI to my colleagues that have in charge to sell it do clients they ask me: "what about the killer feature 'contextual drilldown'? MS has decided to develop it?".

When I answer "not yet" then they conclude "well, let's propose Qlik...".

Please, PLEASE, prioritize it!
