Show slicers dynamically
- 7 months ago
Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for sharing the clarification. Now, Power BI doesn’t support automatically showing or hiding visuals purely based on a slicer selection slicer can filter data, but they can’t control visual visibility. The approaches already shared in the thread (bookmarks, buttons, and list-style slicer formatting) are the closest supported behaviours. Another option for some customers use is a small helper table to let users switch between Search and Change Range modes, and then applying visual-level filters so only the relevant slicer is visible on the page. While it isn’t fully automatic, it does provide a clean experience without disabled or greyed-out visuals.
If you need a truly dynamic hide/show experience without any user interaction at all, that will require a new feature from the Power BI product team. I’d recommend submitting the idea here so it can be considered for future releases:

Power BI does not support conditional show/hide of visuals driven by slicer values. Slicer interaction can filter data, but it cannot control visual visibility.
Supported workaround: Bookmarks + Buttons
Create two slicers:
Search slicer
Change Range slicer
Place them in the same position (overlapping).
Use Selection Pane:
Bookmark 1 → Search slicer visible, Change Range hidden
Bookmark 2 → Change Range visible, Search slicer hidden
Create buttons (or images) the user clicks:
“Search attributes”
“Change metrics”
Assign each button to the corresponding bookmark.
This gives clean UX and predictable behavior.
