How can I use my Imac as external display to my MBP

It would be nice if I can have my iMac act as an external display to my MacBook Pro. I have an iMac (27 Inch, Late 2013) and a MacBook Pro (15 inch, 2017).

According to the specs, it should work, but it doesn't... Who knows a solution?

If you are 1000% positive you have the correct Mac cables/adapters and it still does not work, please reset the NVRAM on each Mac and then re-connect and try again.
