Slicer with date hierarchy - how to show only value

[Anonymous]

Dear all,

May I ask your advice for below issue?

I created a slicer with date hierarchy date; however, the slicer show all data of the periods, not only the real data of that field.

For example, data for 2019 I have only Jan, Feb, Mar but slicer show 12 months but actual there is no data of the other months.

Please advise how can I solve the issue but keep the hierarchy Year - Quaterly - Month.

Thanks so much!

Hi @Anonymous 

You can filter your slicer with a measure that tests whether data exists in your fact table(s).

This would have the effect of removing items with no corresponding data.

The basic pattern is to create a measure like below, and apply it as a visual level filter on the slicer, filtered to 1.

SlicerFilter = INT ( NOT ISEMPTY ( FactTable ) )

See this article for some examples:
