Unable to use Conditional Text in Text box

Hi All,

 

I have a table with 5 names and they are added in a slicer.

 

I have a text box, to which I have added the selection of the filter displayed. It is working correctly.

 

However, I want a message in the Text Box to be "Please select a Name" when nothing is selected in the filter.

 

And this has to be done only in Text box.

 

Could you please guide me on this.

 

Thanks

    Text box doesn't have conditional formatting capability, but Text Box Title has try on title what exactly you want show case/present

      Hi Vijay,

       

      Thanks for the response.

       

      As you mentioned I have tried this on "Title " of the text box. It is working correctly when I select any name in the filter.

       

      However, when nothing is selected, it is taking the first name from the Slicer list.

       

      But I want a text like "Please select a name" to be displayed when nothing is selected.

       

      Is this possible?

    use a selectedvalue function with switch function and for false condition give a user defined text!
