Hi Team,

Is there any plan to enable Cross report Sync slicer feature in Power BI service. This feature will open lot of possibilities in Power BI eco system.


Some of the use cases are mentioned below,


1. If multiple BI reports are shared by using App and if any one slicer selected then same selection will retain in other BI report as well. This will be a very good experience for end users throughout the app.

2. This should be very good programmatical approach to filter data in other BI report compare to passing filter parameters in URL if destination BI report also part of same App experience.

3. We can enable customized common security layer which will be applicable for all BI reports hosted in same App experience.


Conclusion: Sharing BI report via App mechanism is great but cross report sync slicer will make this more effective and seamless exp. for end users.


Some workaround but not very effective/limitations

1. Passing parameter by using URL to destination but this require DAX measure to be created very carefully which should concatenate slicer selection in specific format.

2. Drill-through mechanism , but this feature cant solve the purpose of above requirement. 

3. Common dataset , but In practical scenario this wont be feasible because of the variety and scale of data we are dealing with.

4. Power Apps write back functionality , but it will be too complex implementation and require specific additional subscription to enable write back functionality for data source.


Let me know any easy implementation approach for enable this and or upcoming feature release for the same.
