Power BI desparately needs to support:

Synchronised Drill down across multiple charts with the same hierarchy on the same page (or across the report)

It is extremely annoying, if I have seveal graphs, to have to drill down or up on each of them individually. A feature that allows you to synchronise the drill down state selected charts would be make the user interface incredibly friendly!

This would be amazing... Especially for process engineers

This seems like it would fit perfectly into the "Edit Interactions" part of the visuals.I have a date hierarchy across the X axis in several visuals, but I can't recommend my users to drill down, because the other visuals, using the exact same hierarchy, all become useless.

Wow, thought I voted on this years ago but apparently I didn't. I STILL think this would be huge!

This idea is an oldie but goodie. It would be extremely useful to have item built in. Is there any progress on this item?

This would be huge for me. Running into this issue when have similarly structured analytics comparing different data points across the same axis. Would love to have these in sync.

Yes please, we need this feature added.  It is not user friendly for users to have to drill up/down the hierarchy for each visual on the page and across pages.

This needs to be a feature, like yesterday! I've just recently started creating reports in Power BI and am so surprised to find that of all the complex interactions it can handle, something as basic as this is not a feature yet!

RE: Synchronised Drill Down across multiple charts with same hierarchy!

Agreed - as more users consume data in PBI reports with multiple similar visuals on the same page, being able to sync drilldown/drill-up is a must. For example, imagine multiple visuals each with a horizontal date axis that goes from year, quarter, month. When a user decides that they want to drill up from month to quarter, they have to do so on each visual independently - this is a common source of complaint from my users (and, frankly, something I would hate to have to do myself). Definitely degrades user experience and makes Power BI appear less than stellar.

This is a really missing function. Please add it.
