Ability to select multiple items in a chart say multiple bars, pie's etc and automatically have filters applied to all the existing reports. this helps to highlight anomalies and see all the surrounding reports changes as we do it and showcase risks/opportunities

As of the February update, we now support cross-highlighting across multiple visuals! You can read the details in my blog post: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-february-2018-feature-summary/#crosshighlight

RE: Ability to select multiple items in a report for cross-highlighting

Being able to cross filter tables by holding selections in multiple tables as a ad-hoc drill down is supported by the competition such as Tableau and Qlik and feels like the best way to gather insights for a end user. It is just the most intuitive way to explore the data in a interactive report.

I really hope this feature will be in the upcoming release of Power BI Report Server and its accompanying version of Power BI Desktop.

RE: Ability to select multiple items in a report for cross-highlighting

Indeed this is a supreme important feature. We created a report that has three pie charts that do not interact with themselves. Each one has its own stacked bar chart and a card bonded by filter. We need to highlight each pie chart independently in order to simultaneous filter theirs stacked bar charts and cards. Howerver, only one pie chart can be highlighted at a time. It is frustating.

Please can you confirm whether or not this idea will work on multiply charts, as already commented by Joel Faltermeier on the 20th of November.

Hoped this would be implemented with December update... Now I really hope for January update since it's a necessity.
