Slicer Filtering issue using single select

Hi all,

 

I have two slicers on my report that are "Single Select". The two slicers are Sub and Geo.  Some subs have two geos while others have one. The problem I face is if I slice on Sub then slice to a geo some of the subs disapear from the sub slicer. Also I dont want to show all Geos all the time because there wont be data for every geo for every sub. Any ideas on how to get around this?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

If Sub and Geo are combined, can the hierarchyslicer meet your needs?

@Anonymous looks like you have sub and geo coming from the same table, if that is the case, you need to create a separate dimension for the sub and geo so that they don't filter each other, and to list only geo with the selected sub and have a data, you need to create a measure and use visual level filter, something talked in this post.
