How to filter no selection

Hi, 

 

In a layout with a filter and a graphic or a chart, is it possible to show a blank graphic if there is nothing selected in the filter.

 

Is it possible to filter with a Visual level filter for the graphic.

Hi, let me try:

 

Create a measure to know when you have filters applied:

 

 

Flag =
ISFILTERED ( Table1[Estado] ) || ISFILTERED ( Table1[Año] )
    || ISFILTERED ( Table1[Mes] )

 

 

This measure would be FALSE when dont have filters applied and TRUE when 1 or more filters applied.

 

Now, create a measure to show your values in your chart

 

 

ShowValor =
IF ( [Flag], SUM ( Table1[Valor] ), BLANK () )

Use this measure (ShowValor) as Value in your visual.

Hi @roas_007,

How do you filter? Filter in PowerBI is used to filter the rows in report. If  there is nothing selected in the filter. The report will display all the context in table.

Hi, 

 

The problem is that when my filters are with no selected option I don't want my graphics to show anything. Captura de pantalla 2016-12-09 a la(s) 12.43.49.png

Hi @roas_007,

The Estado, Ano and Mes are slicers, right? If it is, we are not able to achieve what you want, slicer is used to filter rows.

We can achieve this in List Slicer. Not in dropdown. 

 

You can make use of Edit Interactions options in the Format Tab

Hi @roas_007,

Edit Interactions options is used to set the relationship between report and slicers.

Best Regards,
Angelia
