Suppress Visual if values are lower than a certain number

[ljohnston]

Hi,

I have a visual that summarizes race/ethnicity categories by student (one row per student). My bar chart visual is summing the number of applicants/students by their race/ethnicity.

When someone uses slicers to drill-down, I want the visual to not show at all if any of the race/ethnicity categories is below 3.  I can set a visual level filter on the # of students >3, but it only suppresses the category that is below 3 and I would like to suppress the entire visual.

Hi @ljohnston

I agree with @v-shex-msft.

You need to create a measure and add it to the relevant objects as a filter. No need to add it to the object itself.

Generally in cases where you have for example a table with various measures as columns then if you want to exlude rows based on certain criteria, which apply to multiple measures, then you need to create a separate measure based on these criteria and use it as a filter.

HI @ljohnston,

Maybe you can try to write a measure to replace value column, add if statement in it to ignore calculation when race/ethnicity categories less than 3.

Please share some sample data for test if you are confused on coding formula.

Xiaoxin,

Thank you so much for your response. Here's some sample data. So my chart is summing student by fav color. I want a measure that says IF any of the favorite colors are less than 3, don't show the visual. 

Student	Fav Color
1	Red
1	Pink
1	Pink
1	Red
1	Blue
1	Blue
1	Blue
1	Blue
1	Red
1	Red
1	Green
1	Green
1	Green
1	Green
1	Green
1	Green
1	Yellow
1	Yellow
1	Orange

Create a new measure using this DAX formula:

Filter_Column = SUM(Sheet1[Student])

Then Add it as a filter on the table and select Value greater than 3. Image below:

When I do that, it suppresses the categories (fav colors), with less than 3 but still shows those greater than 3.  If any of the catagories (fav colors) are less than 3, I don't want any of the categories to show (blank visual).
