Changing visuals when using a slicer

Hello! 

 

I would like to be able to show a bar chart if nothing is being filtered using a slicer BUT if a single option is selected the Bar Chart is no longer appliedSo basically when filtering I want one chart visible and when not filtering I would like a different chart visible in it's place. I understand that I could use the selection pane and possibly create two "buttons" to turn that pie chart into different visuals for if I am comparing all data or single selection. Before I did this and spent a considerable amount of time re-formatting and stuff. I was curious if anyone knew of a way to do this automatically, as soon as a slicer option is selected the visuals can be changed possibly using the selection pane campability? 

 

Any tips or comments will be helpful! 

  

Thanks, 


Austin I

Out of the box, what you describe cannot be done in Power BI.

 

As you mention, you can use buttons and bookmarks. Instead of 2 buttons to switch the visual being showed, you could arrange buttons to resemble a slicer and combine this with the appropriate bookmarks. 

It is possible to create your own custom visual to do what you describe, but unless you are a skilled javascript programmer, prepare to spend a lot of time to get something like this working.
