Getting rid of blank values in a filter

Hi! I'm trying to clean up a filter that has three different levels (with the first level being department). Some departments have three levels (department, teams, locations), but other departments just have one level (with that just being their department). In the filter view, this shows those one level departments as having blanks. 

Is there a way to fix this so that it doesn't show the drill down for the one level departments? (I've tried filtering out the blanks at those levels, but that causes the first level to not be included - i.e. when I filtered out the last level to not include blanks, the benefits department was removed.)

Hi  @lweaver2235 ,

 

The default hierarchy slicer can't remove blank values. You could use the custom visual of hierarchy slicer to have a try.

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. “Get more visual -- HierarchySlicer.

2. Format – Visual – Selection controls.

Hide Members -- Empty

3. Result:

Hi,

This measure  will allow only to display the value that is available from the source dataset.

 

SlicerFilter = INT ( NOT ISEMPTY ( ‘TableName’ ) )

 

Put the measure in filter pane and make sure to put a condition equal to 1
