Right now, when you click on a portion of a chart you have 3 interaction options (filter, highlight and none). When you click on a slicer you can only filter or none on other charts. Can you make it so that the highlight option is also there?

RE: Slicer can have highlight interaction on charts

I have a request for a Slicers master page following the release of the Sync slicers. So it would be handy to show the user what part of the overall data he was going to be selecting and more importantly if by decreasing or increasing his selection he would include more options. So Highlighting a chart with a Slicer would be key

RE: Slicer can have highlight interaction on charts

I was just trying to do this - so disappointed that I can only filter the data in each chart and not highlight the data :(

RE: Slicer can have highlight interaction on charts

I second this request. I want to be able to use a slicer to highlight a specific line in context to a multi-line line chart. I.E. using a slicer to select a specific district or city and compare that district performance over time compared to all other districts.

Agree, this would be useful, now I'm forced to create a bar chart to highlight slices.
