Hi, I have a question and I'm not sure if it's possible.
Let's say I have a bar chart with 3 bars, if a user selects one of those bars for cross filtering, can the other bars completely disappear?
Similarly, in a scatterplot, if a user selects one of the points, can all the other points disappear so only that one single point remains?
I know if you select a bar/point, the other bars/points turn slightly opaque, but I would rather have those just disappear.
Does Power BI have this functionality?
Thanks
In Power BI, there isn't a built-in feature to make other bars or points completely disappear upon selection in a visual. By default, Power BI applies a cross-filter that makes unselected bars or points partially transparent, as you mentioned.
Workaround:
You can create a DAX measure-
SelectedData = IF(
ISFILTERED(YourTable[Category]),
IF(
HASONEVALUE(YourTable[Category]),
1,
BLANK()
),
1
)
Use this measure to conditionally filter your visual by placing it in the visual level filters pane and setting it to show only non-blank values.
If this helped, a Kudos 👍 or Solution mark would be great! 🎉
Cheers,
Kedar
