Conditionally hiding Gauge Chart based off of another measure.

[fantom71]

Hello all,

TLDR: I'm looking for an ability to hide a visual similar to the IsVisable function in Power Apps.

I'm still new to the Power platform but have a come a long way since i began a few months ago.  My current project is to collect results from audits and display a (busy) kpi to quickly detect where our higher risk areas are.  The audit questions have answers of; yes, no, N/A.  Conditional formatting took are of the guage fill color to align with our requirements.  When the result is 0%, the fill for the entire card is marked as red to immediately see the worst issues.  The issue comes in with a question where all responses are N/A.  We do not want to see a red card for something that is not applicable.  My current state is this with test data:

I have searched everywhere for a solution to hide a visual based off of a calculated value ie HideRad =  ([countRows] - [filteredCountRadNA]) similar to the IsVisable function in Power Apps where i would just write If({HideRad] != 0, true, false) and i would done but a search on here and YouTube has not revealed anything close.  I have seen options for changing backgrounds conditionally or adding another chart based off of a button or slicer but nothing like what i am fighting.

My desired outcome would either just hide the entire visual or create an overlay showing that the topic is N/A.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hi @fantom71,  

There is no direct “visible” attribute in the Power BI visualizations.

As a workaround, we can create a card visual to override the gauge visual, displaying the text when it's all NA, and changing the card's background color to transparent when it has a value.

This can be a big job, as you need to create a corresponding card visual for each gauge visual.

In your case, create the measure or calcualted column as shown below:

HideVisual = IF([countRows] - [filteredCountRadNA])=0,"N/Y","")

 

Then drag HideVisual onto the “Fields” of the card, making sure the card filter is the same as the gauge visual fitler:

Then create another measure that indirectly hides the card view by setting the background color of the card visual to transparent:

Make Transparent =

      IF(

         [HideVisual]="",

         "#FFFFFF00", 

         "White"

      )

Sample test result for your reference:
