Make Visual Opaque and Transparent
Hi bobbob123 ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community.
At this time, Power BI does not support dynamically changing visual opacity or applying blur effects based on slicer selection. As noted by Deku (thanks for the helpful insights), a common workaround is overlaying a shape with conditional transparency. However, this may block interaction with the visual, including tooltips.
For visuals like bar or scatter charts, you can conditionally return blanks using DAX (e.g., IF(ISFILTERED(...), [Measure], BLANK())) to hide content until a slicer is used.
While this approach doesn't offer true opacity control, it can help guide user interaction. For more advanced UX, consider using a conditional text box as an instruction prompt.
If this is a feature you’d like to see, we recommend submitting or voting on a suggestion via the Fabric Ideas - Microsoft Fabric Community

Thankyou.
If it was a bar chart you could get your measure to return blanks or set a very low opacity colour, but what you requested is not possible. If this is some you want to see add a idea of upvote a similar idea on the fabric ideas forum
