Show/Hide Textbox based on button

• Bookmark 1: Text box is hidden.

• Bookmark 2: Text box is visible.

➤ Bookmark 1 (Textbox Hidden)

1. Hide the textbox (NoteTextBox):

   • Click the textbox → press eye icon in the Selection pane to hide it.

   • Or go to View → Selection Pane, and hide it from there.

2. Go to View → Bookmarks Pane.

3. Click Add → Rename it to HideNote.

4. Click the … next to the bookmark → Check only:

   • Data: OFF

   • Display: ON ✅

   • Current Page: ON ✅

   • All Visuals: ON ✅

     

      

➤ Bookmark 2 (Textbox Visible)

1. Show the textbox by clicking the eye icon again in the Selection Pane.

2. In the Bookmarks Pane:

   • Click Add → Rename it to ShowNote.

   • Same settings as above: Only Display, Current Page, and All Visuals checked.

Step 4: Add Bookmark Actions to the Info Button

Since a Power BI button can only be assigned one action at a time, we will use a workaround with two overlapping buttons.

➤ Create Two Info Buttons

1. Duplicate the InfoButton. Now you have:

   • InfoButton_Show → will show the textbox

   • InfoButton_Hide → will hide the textbox

2. Assign actions:

   • InfoButton_Show → set Action = Bookmark → ShowNote

   • InfoButton_Hide → set Action = Bookmark → HideNote
     

     

      

      

➤ Set Visibility of Buttons Using Bookmarks

• In HideNote:

  • Show InfoButton_Show

  • Hide InfoButton_Hide

  • Hide NoteTextBox

• In ShowNote:

  • Show InfoButton_Hide

  • Hide InfoButton_Show

  • Show NoteTextBox

This creates a toggle effect: clicking InfoButton_Show reveals the text and switches to InfoButton_Hide, and clicking that hides it again.
