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 have just had to massively limit the interactivity of a dashboard I have built for my company due to this missing vital component. This functionality is integral to the Power BI user experience and I am stunned that it still hasn't been implemented.

Hi, Is there any way we can sort this out? or like in how much time will this be available? I am facing the same issue.

I transitioned from Tableau to PowerBI and this feature was very good which gives a very interactive experience to users. Users also like it instead of selecting multiple drop down filters...

This is the single most important feature missing currently. Frankly, everything else is secondary. I'm pretty much holding off on any demos or trying to get people in the company excited about this product until this is implemented.

Hi, this would be EXTREMLY important and definetly a must-have for my visualizations.. Not having this functionality is a huge setback vs other BI applications :(

Drill down visuals are a dead end for end users without this cross-filter functionality.

Suggestion added: 11-2014
Pain still present: 9-2017

Seriously guys, this is a BIG fail on the value of the visualizations :(

We use the drill down so that we can aggregate the information from multiple projects on one page, then drop down into the level of detail we need. Not having this really eliminates this critical workflow.
