Hi @vbourbeau ,

 

When you mean "nothing appear in the parent table" ,are you meaning totally nothing on the page or not to show any data about Parent table?

If it's the latter, you can create a measure as:

Measure = IF(ISFILTERED(Child),1,BLANK())

Then add this measure to filters on Parent visual.

Result would be shown as below:

Thank you for the direction to both but fo hide the selection it's not working well.

In fact the table was hide but the card are above the table so I can't click on the table value.
