    What you can do with the new feature of Field Parameters (check in Preview features):

    1. Create a Column Called None with all blank values of ""
    2. Create a Field Parameter to select None field as well as the other fields you want (this lets you combine the fields together into 1 Slicer).
    3. Make Field Parameter into a Slicer.
    4. Now you will have a Slicer with None option that will give a blank result.  Select for this as the default to not show any results.  Save the dashboard in this state to keep the selection this way.  You can select the other fields to populate data.

Hi EdwardMoradian  Thank you for your reply on this.
Are there any other ways to handle this None column (hiding from table visual) because users point of view it is not ok to show them in the visual level.

Instead of a blank column, or a measure with an empty value, use this hack courtesy of Barney Lawrence . Add a row to your table like this.

Percentiles = {
    ("None", "Any non-empty string", 0),
    ("Network P0", NAMEOF('Table'[Measure]), 1)
}

The column will not show up at all whether it is selected, or all are selected.
