edit interactions - How to prevent card visual from being affected by a slicer.

[wyh3574]

I have three columns of cards. One column must not be affected by te slicers, one column must be affected by one slicer (Region) and the third column must be affected by another slicer (employee). 

When selecting edit interactions it does not give me the option to disable filters on a card visual?

@wyh3574 Default Card visuals can participate in Edit interactions. Perhaps the icons are hidden?

@Greg_Deckler When can the icons be hidden and how can I unhide them?

In the image below, I selected the 'All' filter on the bottom right. I'm editing interactions and as you can see, for many fields I can select the 'disable' icon (e.g. the multi-line cards with white numbers), but for the cards with the small percentages that's not possible: only the 'filter' icon shows up. Why is this?

@Anonymous Perhaps try making the visuals bigger, set the interaction and then shrink the visual again. I have confirmed that if the visual is tiny, not all of the edit interaction icons show up.

Wow, that's quite frustrating. Thanks for your simple solution 🙂

You can keep other visuals from filtering your card visuals.  Just select the other visuals and click on the no filter icon.  Note it may be at the bottom of the visual.

Also, to improve performance of your report, consider using a multi-card visual (or Cards with States) if you are using single cards now.
