dropdown filter across sources

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to create a multiple selection dropdown filter that I can apply to all sheets on a dashboard. Three sheets use exactly the same data source, and the third sheet uses blended data - blended to the other data source on the Name field. I want the filter to use the Name field which is common across all worksheets.

An action filter does not suit my needs as I need a dropdown, and to allow multiple selections.

It's also important the filter is a dropdown so that the user can see all available options.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Angeliki

Color changes revert to default once workbook is closed and re-opened

Is there any way of maintaining colours which have been individually applied to measures? I have two measures on the rows shelf, and a toggle to switch between showing one and both. The default colours are applied, but when I try to assign individual colours to each measure (both from the colour blind palette), and save, close and re-open the workbook, the changes have been lost.

Any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue?

I'm attaching a mock sample workbook.
