Can I filter individual visual objects based on the selected value of a filter in PBI Report Builder

In Power BI Report Builder (Paginated Reports), you don’t have the same “visual-level filters” that you do in Power BI Desktop, but you can achieve what you want with expressions, parameters, and visibility rules.

Here’s how you can set it up:

1. Use the Module Parameter
When you create your filter on Module (SID, JACKET, etc.), this is just a report parameter behind the scenes.

Let’s say the parameter is called @Module.

2. Filter the Dataset
You can create separate datasets for SID and JACKET.
Example:

DatasetSID filters WHERE Module = 'SID'.
DatasetJACKET filters WHERE Module = 'JACKET'.

Then bind DatasetSID to the SID table, and DatasetJACKET to the JACKET table.

3. Control Visibility of Tables/Charts
For each table/chart, set its Visibility → Show/Hide based on expression.

Example for SID table:
=IIF(InStr(Join(Parameters!Module.Value, ","), "SID") > 0, False, True)

This means: if SID is among the selected values, show the table; otherwise hide it.

Example for JACKET table:
=IIF(InStr(Join(Parameters!Module.Value, ","), "JACKET") > 0, False, True)

This way, multiple modules selected will display multiple tables/charts.

4. Alternative: Single Tablix with Grouping
If you don’t want separate tables:

Use one dataset with all modules.

Insert a Tablix (table or chart) grouped by Module.

Add a filter on the Tablix group:
=Parameters!Module.Value

This will dynamically generate a section for each selected module.
