Show/Hide a table based on slicer value

Hi 

I would like to show 0 values in a table if a slicer value is not selected/a message to prompt the user to select a slicer value.

 

I got this working but I couldn't scroll down the table because the other card visual with the message to 'Select a value in the slicer' was in the way so this didn't work properly. 

 

For now, it displays everything in a table which is not ideal. I also want two of the same column values e.g. 'Product categories' to display in both the table and the slicer visual.

 

Thanks in advance,

Laura

 

Thanks,

Laura

Hi @Lauraeire_81,

Thank you for reaching out in Microsoft Community Forum.

Thank you @parry2k  for the helpful response.

Please follow below steps to acheive the error;

1.Create a measure to check if a slicer value is selected:
IsCategorySelected = IF(ISFILTERED('YourTable'[Product Category]), 1, 0)

2.Create a card visual with a message like:
MessageText = IF([IsCategorySelected] = 0, "Please select a product category from the slicer.", BLANK())

3.Please Make sure the message card doesn’t overlap the table, or use bookmarks and layering to toggle visuals cleanly.

4.Modify your table measures like:
Sales = IF([IsCategorySelected] = 0, 0, [Actual Sales])

Please continue using Microsoft community forum.
