Have card display blank when slicer has no value selected

[LilMurph]

Hi all,

I have a data set imported from an SQL Database. One of the columns provides Resource ID's (employee names). One of the sheets on my report is a dashboard which shows employee stats. I have a slicer set up for Resource ID so that when no-one is selected it shows the total stats, and when I select a name it shows me just their stats. 

The problem I am having is that I have placed a card at the top of the page poplated with resource ID so that when I select someone is shows their name, but when no-one is selected, it still shows the name at the top of the list. I want it so that when no-one is selected by the slicer it is just blank or says something like total. I can't manipulate the source data to add a name such as total and I can't figure out how to do it. 

Any help/advice would be greatly appricited.

Cheers
Murph

Hallo, 

I am trying to have my card blank as well when the slicer has no values selected. 

I am using the following formular: 

IF(ISFILTERED('Product Groups'[Product Group]), FIRSTNONBLANK('Product Groups'[Product Group Name], 'Product Groups'[Product Group Name]), "")

I want to show the name of the Department within the Card and it works, but it does not work with row-level-security. I read on Microsoft that isfiltered and some oder function do not work with RLS. 

Is there a workaround? 

Thank you,

Eva

I found a solution, I just added a _ALL Departments in my sharepoint list. And the card shows the first value on the list, when nothing is selected, which is the _ALL Deparment.

Thank you, Eva

Hello @LilMurph 

Instead of just column name in the slicer for employee, you can use following

Calculate ( if( is blank(), "Total", [Column Name])

This will solve your issue.

@LilMurph Write a measure for the display name and put that in the card.

Display Name = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Name Column],"" )

That will show an empty string if there is not a single selected value.

Hi, How did you do this. I created a measure and when i drag and drop it, it does not work on the card filter on the visual option. Any solution to it? Below is the screenshot.

Just drag the measure into the Card's field. It'll apply that way.
