Helper ISlicer not fully disabled
Hi jbhca12 ,
I followed the tutorial and I notice that every time he changes from custom to another type of visualization he selectes the full slicer.
This is mentioned on the comments of the youtube video:
What I think you need to do (to have the reset) is use bookmark has I refered that way you can force the data to be reset something similar to this:
In this case I have hidden the period selection because I believe is more user friendly in terms of user experience, left the selection of the period so that the user can see what he has available.
Just giving options the slicers have the following options:
Depending on the rest of the interactions with your report you may need to change the other options on your bookmark specially the Data and Selected visual options
Super UserHi jbhca12 ,
To what I can see from the video there is the used of a dimension table with the several dates and time ranges and the bidirectionality between both tables that will give you the filtering of the calendar table witouth the impact of the slicer in the other calculations.
Are you using that table or just making it trough a filter only (0 and 1)?
If you are making it trough a filter the output will be different since the slicer will be always connected with the date table and your calculation will be impacted by the selection on the slider.
Sorry for continuing to make question but just want to understand your model in order to give you the best answer possible.
Helper II'm doing it exactly as it is in the video. Filtering isn't the issue. Getting the range slicer to completely disable is the issue. If a user selects something other than "Custom" in the date period slicer, and if they made ANY changes to the default dates in the date range slicer, it will keep those two date inputs enabled. The rest of the slicer will disable as expected.

I think this may be the solution. I have one "minor" issue I am working on that I'd like to get some guidance on and then I think I can mark this as solved.
My slicer panel opens and closes by clicking on an image. I have the slicer panel opening based upon a bookmark with data unchecked. This way, whatever the slicer selections were when the slicer panel was closed will be preserved if/when the user re-opens the panel. This leads me to my one and hopefully final question relating to the status of the date period slicer and the date range slicer...
Is there a way to programmatically show or hide a visual? I know you can do this with a bookmark, but, for example, if the user has a custom date range selected and closes the panel, I want that same selection to show when the panel is re-opened. So it's kind of related to the solution provided.
Thanks!- MFelix
Hi jbhca12 ,
In this case you need to have two additional bookmarks and link them to the data bound:
If you click on the several images you can see that according to the selection you have different changes of the visualizations.
Be aware that you may need also to create another one for the case when you select the predefined values to hide and show, then depending on the bookmark you are you present the corresponding button, so if tyou have just selected custom period you need to show the button custom period hide (no matter if the selection of the period was done or not) however the button after hidding a custom period is the custom period show data.
This is a workaround but I would consider the slicer's behaviour buggy. Will it be fixed any time soon?
