Is it possible to have a empty table until a chart is selected? I have found previous solutions where a measure is created that work with 1 chart, but I want the user to be able to select any chart and the related data set rows are shown in the table.
Thanks in advance,

Hi @StuartSmith
If you want to see all visual in blank before you select any chart, you can build a measure and then drag the measure into the Filters Pane to achieve your goal.
I build three table to have a test.
Table1:
Table2:
Show up Table:
Build a slicer by Show up Table. Then build a measure.
Measure = IF(ISFILTERED('Show Up'[Type]),1,0)Drag the measure into all visuals' Filters Pane, let it show items when the value =1.
Result:
Default:
Select show up:
You can download the pbix file from this link: Empty Table until chart selected.

@StuartSmith ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
Appreciate your Kudos.
Hi, I want the table to be empty by default and only show data when a user selects a chart.
@StuartSmith , bit tricky. The one one approch which come to my mind is to use isfiltered
if(isfiltered(Table[ABC],[Measure],blank())
need to be done for all measures and also need ad more conditions for other paramters
