It's a very strong feature of Qlik that is dearly missed in Power BI:


I would like to double click a category in a matrix or table and send it to the filter pane (report level). The idea is that this filter still applies as I conduct further analysis on other pages of my report.

Alternatively a right click and "send to report-level filters" would also be appreciated.


Yes, "drill-through" somehow does that, but the drill-through functionality only retains my filters for the target page but not for subsequent report pages, unless I do another drill-through, which is tedious.

This is sometimes absolutelly necessary. why the software can't do that is surprising, it should be part of the standard

This feature would be great - I really miss this in PowerBI. This would make work much more comfortable and efficient!

This would be absolutely great!!! I think this is the only great disadvantage compared to Qlik. If it would be possible to select the filter by direct click into the table it would boost the usability of the product.

Yes, this is really annoying. Would be nice if PowerBI could offer this feature too.
