Show scatter data only when selecting data

Hello,

 

I am trying to keep my scatter, fever chart empty until something is selected on the left table. I tried using the suggestion found in the forum, to create the measure:

SlicerCheck = =if(calculate(distinctcount([SlicerColumn]),allselected([SlicerColumn]))=1,"Y","N")

 

but it is not working for me, I add this measure to the visual filter and set to Y and still see all the scatters in the chart. maybe I am puting the wrong [slicer Column]?? not sure..

 

your help is appreciated!image.png

hi,@Allav

     You can try to use ISFILTERED to add a measure like this:

new SlicerCheck = 
IF(ISFILTERED(VehicleTrend[ReportDate])=BLANK() ,"Please Select a Report Date", BLANK())

and then set visual level filter:
