Exam PL-300 topic 3 question 73 discussion

I would choose: Matrix Apply drill down filters to Selected Visual https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-reports-visual-interactions?tabs=powerbi-desktop#change-the-interactions-of-drillable-visualizations By default, a matrix will have "Entire Page" in the "Apply drill down filters to" option inside the Format tab, which is what we don't want to happen, so changing to "Selected Visual" should give us the behavior we want

Shouldn't the answer be Matrix and Edit Interactions to Filter?

Yes — that’s exactly right! 🎯 To meet the requirement where clicking a cell in the matrix updates the card and bar chart, you need to: ✅ Set the interaction type to Filter Select the matrix visual (this is your source visual). Go to the Format tab → Edit interactions. On the card and bar chart, make sure the filter icon (🔽) is selected — this ensures they respond to matrix selections. 🧠 Why this works: Filter interaction means the selected matrix cell will filter the other visuals (card and bar chart), updating them accordingly. It avoids drill-down propagation but still allows selection-based filtering, which is exactly what the question requires.

I tested by default, having a card, a bar chart and a matrix in page, when a matrix cell is selected, card is filtered and matrix selection is highlighted in the bar chart and drilling down the matrix is also drilling down the chart and th bar chart. To disable the drill down over the bar chart and the card, we need to "apply drill down filters to selected visual". This option is not in the visual but in the "Format" section in the upper ribbon of the report. Turning this option from "Entire page" to "selected visual" we can limit the drill down effect to the matrix visual Note thar requisite it "….must change when a user selects a cell in the matrix" so it doesn't need to be the "filter change" but default highlight change" is fulfilling

I created a report from the financials sample with the respective visuals. With the matrix visual selected you go to the Format tab and turn "Edit Interactions" on. Then you set the interactions on the Card and the Chart to Filter, which will give you the desired result.

No guys why drill down filters? In my opinion the given answer is correct

1. Matrix 2. Edit interactions to filter

Agree with pvierde. I built a file and tested it.

Tested - The correct answer is Matrix and Edit Interactions filter PS: "The card and the bar chart must change when a user selects a cell in the matrix" So Apply drill down filters to Entire page or Selected visual doesn't make any difference!

The answer should be Matrix Edit Interactions to filter I feel Apply drill down filters to selected visual is wrong as, our core intention is that there should be interactions/changs when something in matrix is selected.

GPT says it's edit interactions to filter.

Just tested it using the sample given in the article below. I believe the answer is: Matrix Apply drill down filters to selected visual The tricky part about this question is that when you are drilling down, you have to turn on drill mode on. If you select any columns/cells it will not affect any other visual (this is a drill through filter that the question wants not to affect other visuals. But the question says also it must change the other visual when you select a cell. So then, if you turn off the drill mode off and then select a cell, it will cross highlight/filter the other visuals depending on the interaction settings.

Agreed with pverde : Matrix and Apply drill down filters to Selected Visual https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8r7c9NnLFY

Setting the interaction to "none" for the card and bar chart visuals will make sure they are not affected by drill-down actions in the matrix, but they will still respond to selections made within the matrix. This configuration allows users to explore data in the matrix by drilling down while keeping the card and bar chart visuals stable unless they make explicit selections within the matrix.

This sentence makes me doubt: "The card and the bar chart must change when a user selects a cell in the matrix" If a cell in the matrix has to modify (I understand "filter") card and bar chart, don't we have to apply "Edit interactions to Filter"??

I changed my mind,pverde is right.

i agree with selected Answer
