Visualisations blank until something selected in a slicer

‎01-05-2017 08:42 PM

The default functionality for a slicer in Power BI seems to be that if nothing is selected in a slicer then all records are shown in visualisations on the same report where the interactions are set as filter. What I would like to be able to do is not show anything in these other visualisations until one or more entries are selected in the slicer. Is this possible?

Hi @Dave0145,

 

For your requirement, you can create a measure like this:

 

SlicerCheck = =if(calculate(distinctcount([SlicerColumn]),allselected([SlicerColumn]))=1,"Y","N")

 

Then place this measure in a table visual, set filter condition as is Y. If you want to select multiple values in a slicer, set is N.

 

For more information, see:

The Curbal video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYbGNeYD4OY&t=52s, starting at about 04:15, shows how to create a blank in a visualization until a slicer value is selected.

Further explanation:

 

- if nothing selected in slicer, show no data items in associated visualisation

- if one or more items selected in slicer, show data for those in associated visualisation (as per current slicer functionality

- if Select All chosen in slicer, show data for all items in associated visualisation
