Button Slicer - State disabled
For fellow travellers out there:
Greyed out categories are now possible in the button slicer since the october Power BI update (Power BI October 2025 Feature Summary | Microsoft Power BI-Blog | Microsoft Power BI).
Therefore I have a solution since today!
Thanks v-nmadadi-msft srlabhe and MasonMA for the contributions!
Hi LED_General ,
You have mentioned the button slicer used with month names has the option of greying out buttons, but the image you have shared doesnt contain months name but instead has categories, can you kindly recheck the slide.
I have also checked power BI previous month updates and I could not find anything related to the feature you are talking about

Hello v-nmadadi-msft
thanks for your quick reply!
In the FabCon example the categories act as a slicer, where one can choose between Historical and Market for a specific city, as the other categories do not appear for that city. If a different city is selected, the greyed out categories might be clickable. So translated to my case: the category becomes month and the city becomes year.
Thank you for checking the previous updates, I as well couldn't find anything.
Meanwhile my assumption is that this is a feature which might be released in the october update.
Hi LED_General ,
Thank you for the update. I think, for now, the best approach is to keep an eye on the upcoming October release or as mentioned if the feature is important you can raise a post in the ideas forum.
Thank you
