Visualisations blank until something (multiple values) selected in a slicer

Hi,

 

I am trying to display blank visuals until user make a selection from the slicer. Using the below two metrics I can make the visuals blank and display the data with single selection but my challenge is to make it work with MULTIPLE SELECTIONS. My slicer column is being displayed in the Matrix visual as one of the fields, this might be the reason it's not working the way it's supposed to, with my first metric.

 

      Using Cross Filter: = IF(ISCROSSFILTERED(Table[Column_Name]),"Y",BLANK())

 

With the second metric I could only make it for a single selection:

     Using Distinct Count: = IF(CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[Column_Name]),ALLSELECTED(Table[Column_Name]))=1,"Y","N")

HI @Anonymous,

 

You can follow below steps to achive your requiremetn:

 

1. Create a measure to mark tag based on selected records .

Using Cross Filter: = 
IF (
    COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED ( 'CALENDAR' )) <> COUNTROWS(ALL ( 'CALENDAR' ))
        && COUNTROWS ( ALLSELECTED ( 'CALENDAR' ) ) > 1,
    "Y",
    "N"
)

 2. Add above measure to visual level filter, then switch filter mode to 'is' to filter "Y" tag.

 

Result:

Hi,

 

Used this measure to filter :

sing Cross Filter: = 
IF (
    COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED ( 'CALENDAR' )) <> COUNTROWS(ALL ( 'CALENDAR' ))
        && COUNTROWS ( ALLSELECTED ( 'CALENDAR' ) ) > 1,
    "Y",
    "N"
)

It works fine on Table and Pie viz. but cannot apply to cards, linear guage visualizations. Is there any ither measure that'll work for all visualizations?

Also, is it possible that measures cannot be filtered by another measure? 

 

Please help.

Pooja

Hi,

Does it work for scattered plot and Guage.

Because I can’t select the created measure value in visual level filter to Y or N. It doesn’t allow me to click

This doesn't work for me 😞

Cause I amgetting N for every row
