How to lock visual slicer...

Hi,

Is there a way to lock or hide a visual? I want to view reports a column is set to active or inactive and for a matrix I want view only the active records. I have a slicer with the two radio buttons where the default is active but the users only want active and no way for report users to toggle to inactive.

 

Thanks for any clue!

Your option is make a JPG out of it... place the JPG there... I am trying to do that also... But that at least lets me inform the user the selection is there but they cant change it.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Hope the following documentations can help you:

1. Visual interactions

2. Using Bookmarks to Show/Hide Information in Your Power BI Report

3. Hide slicer with the help of sync slicer

4. Lock or hide filter    

 

If the above documentations are not what you want, could you please provide your sample data, the related visuals and expected result? Thank you.

Best Regards

Rena

It almost works the way the article described it. If I deselect the eye the visual still shows up. But if I lock it does lock. So I got half of what I needed and I am going with that for now.
