Filter Months from Month Slicer

  I am trying to filter out Jan, Feb, March & April from the Month Slicer. I do not want people to have the ability to check these months because there is no data for them; can this be done?     ...

    Hi Bwidener,

     

    There could be a workaround.

    1. Add another slicer and filter the desired options.

    2. Open "Edit interactions" and make the new slicer only filter the old slicer.

    3. Open "Selection pane", hide the new slicer.

Hi

 

You can filter the unwanted months in the visual filters, so that it wont be available for selection.

 

Is that you are looking for?

 

Thanks

I'm trying to filter the report, I have no data for those months, I am trying to filter the slicer itself, so it only shows certain months and again thanks so much for your help.
