Getting tile slicer to be transparent when clicked.

[mwesterhaus]

Hey all, 

Im sure this is a simple fix but I am newer to BI still and havnt been able to find an answer yet. Right now I have a row of cards displaying information and in front of it I have a fields parameter slicer that I changed to transparent tiles so that I can click (seemingly) on the card and it changes what is displayed in a graph that I have below. Currently when I click on the field that I would like the graph to display it changes the tile to black and I cannot see the data behind it but I am trying to figure out how to make the tile transparent so that I can see the data. Any ideas of how to do that or a workaround that still lets me keep the tiles but still always see the data there? Thanks!

Hi @mwesterhaus  please attach some screenshot that shows what are you trying to do .

Hey @Ritaf1983, here is my picture. Right now I have the third, fourth, and fifth tile slicers being selected (the fourth one is being hovered over and therefore gray) but I would like to be able to see the titles and the stat (from a table) being dispayed behind my tiles by making them transparent. I have the background transparent but that doesn't apply to when it is selected. Also its all just dummy data which is why its just straight lines. Its also possible that I'm going about this all wrong so if theres an easier solution I am open to hearing it. Thank you!

Hi @mwesterhaus 

If you are using a blank button you just need to keep the fill off.

if i missing something please share the link for your dummy file.

Hi @Ritaf1983 
Im not able to attach the document I'm sorry because of other sensative data in the report but I see where I wasn't clear now. The titles/ stats that I have shown are simply cards. Layered above these cards I have horizontal tiles (originally a vertical checkbox list) that come from a field paramter table (Modeling -> New Parameter -> Fields) that I use to allow the end user to choose what to display on the graph below and so the tiles do not have the same styling options as what you had in your screenshot. If that doesn't make sense then I can create a version where I delete all data that could be considered sensative.
