Conditional hiding of columns

[dreamhouse32]

In my table visual, I want to hide columns with no data when a slicer is applied. For example, if I use a slicer to select United States, and there is no data in a particular column for the United States, I want that particular column with no data to be hidden.

In this particular data set, blanks are indicated by a dash "-".

Hi @dreamhouse32  I don't think Power BI supports that natively for conditionally hiding columns based on slicer selections. For this, we would need to create dynamic measures for each column that return BLANK() if the value is a dash ("-"). Then, use these measures in the table visual.

Thank you. Would you perhaps have an example of what the created measure might look like? I appreciate your help.

Hi @dreamhouse32,

Below is the measure.

Sales_Visible = 
IF(
    MAX('Raw Data'[Country]) = "United States" &&
    SELECTEDVALUE('Raw Data'[Sales]) = "-",
    BLANK(),
    SELECTEDVALUE('Raw Data'[Sales])
)
