Hide Values in Slicer

[hansolo]

Trying to design some "buttons" by augmenting slicers. Please see below. Is there any way I can limit values in a slicer? For instance, I just want there to be the current week, last week, etc ... not the deselect or the blank option.

How are you creating the values. e.g.  last 7 days, WTD, for the slicer? I'd like to do something similar with Google Analytics data. Feel free to msg me directly so this thread doesn't go off track.

Thanks,

Jeff

There is a bug that disables visual-level filters for slicers.  You can workaround it by changing the slicer to another visualization (card or table or whatever), then selecting your visual-level filter (in your case, value is not blank), then changing the visualization back to a slicer.  The filter won't actually show up in the slicer's visual-level filter menu, but it will still be applied.

This solution isn't working for me in Version: 2.38.4491.282 64-bit (August 2016)

Yes, this workaround was disabled a few months ago.  Please vote on the following idea to bring it back:
