Disable slicer

In my report I want to disable a slicer and I don't know how to do it. I saw this post

This is because I have to create a comparison between 2 bunches of graphs and the user can't change the slider (for now).

 

For example, I want to have the Wave slider fix to 1.

Hi @Anonymous,

I'm not so sure about the 'disable' means, can you please explain more about this? Did you mean the hide the visual or turn off the interactions?

#1, You can use bookmark or sync slicer options to hide the slicer:

Create report bookmarks in Power BI to share insights and build stories - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Slicers in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

#2, You can turn on the 'edit interactions' layout to accurately control the visual interactions:

Change how visuals interact in a report - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

after you set the slicer you can hide it.  But don't forget about it - hidden slicers are the primary source of confusion both for users and for developers that forgot about them...
