Hi @powerbiexpert22 ,

 

Perhaps you can use a slicer to achieve this.

 

In the example below, I set the style of the slicer to tile, and then the date button changes with the selection of the discount band. For more details about slicers, refer to the document: Slicers in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn.

Alternatively, you can also use bookmarks to achieve the effect. The bookmark pane can be viewed by clicking View Ribbon and checking the box labeled "Bookmarks". After adding the appropriate bookmark, in the visualization pane of the corresponding button, go to the properties called "Action". Open it, change the type to Bookmark, and then select the corresponding bookmark in the drop-down list. Detailed steps can be referred to the link: Dynamic Visuals using Buttons - (powerbi.tips).

 

If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

I agree with @Anonymous, I'd also go with filter of type tile to guarantee that this filter dynamically consider values of cars for selected customer.

Hi @Anonymous, can we show vehicle models tabs ( or buttons) dynamically uisng bookmarks?

Hi @powerbiexpert22 ,

 

You can use the Selection pane to control the visibility of visual objects.

 

The Selection pane is similar to the Bookmarks pane. They both display a list of all the objects on the current page and allow you to select an object and specify whether it is visible or not.

In the Selection pane, select an object and toggle whether it is currently visible by selecting the eye icon to the right of the object.

When you add bookmarks, you also save the visibility status of each object according to its settings in the Selection pane. More details can be found in the documentation: Create report bookmarks in Power BI to share insights and build stories - Power BI | Microsoft Learn.

 

For example, in the following example, different buttons show different visual objects through bookmarks.
