URL Filter> update existing filter
Hi, this seem to be something very trivial but I do not find a solution to this: My report shows data for several locations. When a user opens the report I want the visuals to be empty. Therefo...
Hi d_gosbell ,
thank you for the hint with HASONEFILTER. Based on your solution I did some research an found this: https://exceleratorbi.com.au/show-or-hide-a-power-bi-visual-based-on-selection/
I settled for a combination of your solution and the one suggested in the link. Now I can get rid of my default filer and use URL based filtering.
I am not sure whether I should open another topic or just use this one. But first I'll try to post here:
I have a similar issue as OP:
- I have a report with multiple sites (report sections)
- I have a report wide filter that filters all report sections (Single selection filter!)
- I do not care about having all visuals on blank before the user makes a selection
- But I do care about the report wide filter. I dont want to get rid of it since I want the Users to still be able to use the report wide filter on their own
- I want to send URLs to my Users that pre-filters the report wide filter
- But here again the URL filter that is created in addition to the existing one collides with the report wide filter (for example if the User has filtered the report using the report wide filter to value X, this information is stored in his browser session. If he now clicks on the URL that filters for Y, all visuals are blank since this is a conflict - again, it is a single selection filter)
Any ideas?
