    Hi Anonymous ,

    I updated my sample pbix file, you can get it from this link. The updated information as below:

    1. Add a Text Filter visual

    2. Create a measure as below and create two mask cards used this measure

    Message = 
   IF(
      ISFILTERED('Fruits'[Fruit]),
      "",
      "You must input any value in text filter to see the results"
   )

    3. Create a measure to display or hidden the cards and format the background color of mask cards with this measure

    Make Transparent = 
      IF(
         ISFILTERED('Fruits'[Fruit]),
         "#FFFFFF00",
         "White"
      )

    Best Regards

    Rena

Hi CNENFRNL 

 

Thansk for taking the time to respond. Indeed, that thread came up when I was searching for answers to this particular problem.

 

That thread talks about data in tables, whereas my query revolves around the visibility of the card visual.

 

Appreciate you responding though 🙂

        Hi Anonymous 

         

        I'm not sure I understand, but thank you so much for your reply.

         

        Unless I'm missing something, the PBIX has a slicer which splits between apple and orange, however I couldn't see a mechanism whereby an entry in a text filter visual has the power to show or hide visuals.

         

        As an example...my desired outcome would be this...

         

        I've added the text filter visual to the report you supplied, and hidden the rest of the visuals.

         

        When the user types in say, Apple into the text filter and hits search or return, then some pre-made, but hidden card visuals appear in the report, and hide again when the search box is cleared.

         

        I realise thats a huge ask, but what are your thoughts?
