Disallow de-selecting option in slicer

[Anonymous]

I have a report which requires a user to selct the project via a slicer. The report then shows project updates for the selected project.

However, if a user de-selects the currently selected project in the slicer, this results in a 'select all' in the filter and the status updates for all projects are concatenated and displayed in the text boxes.

Is there a way to ensure only - and always - one project is selected in the slicer (or an alternative method of forcing single selection). Something like a radio button?

Hi @Anonymous ,

If your requirement is to force a selection from the slicer, then download "ChicletSlicer" from the marketplace.

To change the orientation go to Format pane -> General -> Orientation (Horizontal/Vertical).

To enable always one selected value go to Format pane -> General -> Forced Selection (enable).

You can enable/disable multiple selections from the same menu.

Hope this is you are looking for.

Regards,

Pavan Vanguri.

Not that I am aware of, I would modify your measures to check for HASONEVALUE and if that is false, then display something different than you would otherwise.

Hi Greg, can i use HASONEVALUE to hide / disable the visuals on the page,or perhaps display a message,  if the slicer doesn't have one value selected?

This is the report i am working with: -

I agree with Greg's response. 

Just also be aware of this item on user voice https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/12299949-single-selection-slicer where apparently work has started on adding a radio button like slicer 🙂
