Show selected value in Card instead of Blank

All,

I was working with sync slicers (i.e. global slicer for all pages in the entire report) in Power BI. I was filtering data based on the slicers. Due to the blank value, I cannot get the selected slicer data into the card value. As an example, I've added a Card to display chosen values in the header.
But there is no data; it is showing "(Blank)," but I want to show a selected value in the card.
Please see the attached screenshots for further information where I have added a page-level filter to "Page 1" and am choosing a value from the "Selection" page.Selection Page - Global SlicerSelection Page - Global Slicer

Hey @jaypatel ,

 

this will not work, you need a proper star schema, as you are using a page filter.

For this reason "Family4" will be filtered out, meaning you can not extract the selected item from synched slicer.

As long as Name and Title are in the same table your Card visual will always be blank: This si due to a concept called AutoExist. I recommend reading this article: Understanding DAX Auto-Exist - SQLBI

Regards,

Tom

Hey @jaypatel ,

I always use a measure to visualze selections from a slicer in combination with a card visual. This is the DAX measure: 

vizAid SelectedColorName = 
IF( ISFILTERED( 'DimProduct'[ColorName] )
    , CONCATENATEX(
        VALUES( DimProduct[ColorName] )
        , [ColorName]
        , ", "
        , [ColorName]
        , ASC
    )
    , "No colors selected (ALL)"
)

 The next picture shows the result, if no color is filtered (left), and if multiple colors are filtered (right)

Please be aware that this does not replace the synch of slicers.

Hopefully, this provides a new idea on how to tackle your challenge.

 

Regards,

Tom
