Single select filter / forcing users to see only item at a time

Hello,

 

I have a bar chart, and due to the large amount of data, I want to limit users to selecting only one city at a time. When they open the report, they should see only one city, but they should still be able to select any other city—one at a time. I tried using a single-select slicer, but it doesn’t work properly. For example, if I select AccountId = 1, it filters to a single city (e.g., New York). But, when I switch to AccountId = 2, and this account does not have New York as a city, the chart appears blank.

 

Any idea is appreciated!

Hello @hoosha_11 ,

 

in the measure that shows the value, you can replace blank with zeros thus when they select account two in your scenario, it will still show newyork as zero.

Thanks, but each account has different cities. By default, 'Account' is not filtered, so when I use a single-select slicer, Power BI randomly selects a city. When the account changes, if the new account does not have the previously selected city, the chart will be blank.
