CompletedDrill-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!

This is not the same.

Hello, I believe the Ideia has a misunderstanding.
Please, follow and vote for the feature here:

RE: Drill-down should drill or cross-filter other visualizations on the page
I agree. The ability to drill down multiple visuals is key. CUrrently, the behavior allows you to drill one visual, and apply filters, but without "drilling" the second visual, the filter causes it to show just one category...
RE: Drill-down should drill or cross-filter other visualizations on the page
Drill down doesn't work when you drill say first visual and you expect the other visual to similarly drill down on to the next level. Need an option in the dashboard when you can set up the Dashboard Analytic so all visual can be linked to the same filter/fields or not linked etc.

Hi Will, thanks for the comment. I do have an issue with the feature "Drilling filters other visuals".
I have a bar chart with 2 levels of drilling.
When I click on the top level, all other visuals & KPI's get filtered, that's OK.
However, when I click on any 2nd level item in the bar chart now, nothing happens to other visuals & KPI's.
Grateful if you could please advise on the above at your earliest convenience.
Thanks in advance!

RE: Drill-down should drill or cross-filter other visualizations on the page
If I have a matrix and I want to select multiple rows to drill down on simultaneously to the next level how do I do that with this feature? As an example: Filter by 3 out of ten items on the first level and then move to the next level (which is filtered to only results pertaining to the 3 items chosen on the first level) to chose from and then select a few rows out of many from the next level and move to the next level from there and it should show a filtered view of the data from the choices from each level of the matrix for all the visuals on the page.
RE: Drill-down should drill or cross-filter other visualizations on the page
It's not really working as expected.
Lets say I have 3 levels of time grains (1 day, 1 hour, 15 minutes).
Drilling down in one of the charts, from 1-day to 1-hour --> does apply the time filter, but not making the actual "Drill down" on other charts...
The other charts end up having one data point because the filter filters data from a single hour, but presents it in 1 day time grain.

Are there any plans to include this feature in dashboards?

Hi for those asking for the 2nd visual to drill down as well, please vote this idea:

RE: Drill-down should drill or cross-filter other visualizations on the page
Hi Will, love the focus in this area. I agree with Anish - a really key enhancement to this functionality would be: If you have other visuals on the report that share the same axis, it would be a great user experience if you could enable drill up/down simultaneously.
