Select data in the
source report object to brush data in the
target report object (or objects). In the following example, the stuffed animal product line was selected

measure, then a crosshatch pattern indicates when it is selected or
brushed.
The brush interaction between controls behaves differently than a brush interaction
between tables and
graphs. When there is a brush interaction between controls, instead of highlighting
or selecting the values in the other control, the values that match are moved to the
top of the control, and the values that do not match are grayed out. If a frequency
data item exists, then the frequency value is updated.

There is a second brush interaction between
