Empty Table until chart selected.

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.

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
