I have a PowerBI sheet consisting of multiple visuals and one slicer. The underlying data set includes one column called "selected" consiting of either "1" or "null". I want the slicer to always be default setted to only show data where the data entries in column "selected" are equal to "1". I want that the user is still possible to modify the selection and then be able to press a button to return to the pre-selection. I found no way possible to do this. Do you guys have any idea? I am pretty new to PowerBI.
I only found a way to pre-select the whole sheet or slicer to only show values where "selected" =1 but I want the user to be able to further select data. Also I only saw solutions for pre-selected slicer based on dates (e.g. most recent date is pre-selected).
What you need to do is to preselect all filter and save "bookmark" (view tab in powerbi desktop); Then you can assign a bookmark to the button.

This is a question about unchecking user inputs from a slicer that has a hierarchical relationship with another. As an example, a user selects ‘fruit’ from a ‘level 1’ slicer and ‘Apples’ from the ‘level 2’ slicer. They then change their mind and select ‘cars’ from the ‘level 1’, however Power BI holds onto ‘apples’ from the original selection, leading to a nonsensical slicer combination.
Is it possible to reset/uncheck the ‘level 2’ slicer whenever the user makes changes to the level 1 slicer? I have already investigated using bookmarks, but a slicer isn’t able to trigger a bookmark. Please note that the two slicers need to be separate items.
I have a scenario where I am using date and country slicers along with maps in my report along with some stacked charts.
When I click on the map for one country it filters the data based on that country I have selected but the filter is not reflected in slicers.
Is there any way that I can use the map only to display the counts without having select, in other words, no selection allowed on the maps?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!
Go to Format tab and select Edit Interaction option as shown in the below image. Now select your Map visual and set Filter = None in other visuals you don't like to interact when click on the Map.
I need to add calculated column that would ignore values selected in a slicer:
I tried:
all users = ALL(Sheet1[UserName])
But it gives me an error: A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected.
A calculated column cannot be affected by a slicer but that's not what you seem to be referring to.
It appears you are trying to create a visual that lists all the users. For this, you can put Username on a table visual and disable the filtering from the slicer by going to the Format tab and clicking Edit interactions.
If I understand you correctly, You have to use ALL() Function by
creating new table Under the modelling tab
Hi everyone, I have a chart which I need that the x value (Axis) changes by changing the slicer value (this slicer is the yellow one that has all the Dims (x values)) and it comes from DimList table. For example, at the moment the chart is totalfreight by custid, but I need if I check the empid from the yellow slicer the chart value changed to totalfreight by empid. This happens for all of the slicer values.
But I don't like bridge table or any method that has a bad effect on performance because the FactTable has a billion rows and I modeled it in SSAS, tabular model and has a live connection. Thanks in advance.
I assume you're referring to the approach that uses a bridge table described in this article. I agree that you may face some performance problems given the amount of data in your model.
First of all, you should try to see if there's some other Power BI frontend functionality that you can use directly in the report, without changing your data model. Perhaps you can use Power BI bookmarks, links or maybe a custom visual?
If not, there's another approach you can use in the data model, that does not rely on bridge tables. Disclaimer: I haven't tested this - there could be other performance issues involved.
Construct a new dimension table with all the members from your individual dimensions. Ie. create a union of all EmpIDs, CustIDs, etc. Make sure you indicate the type of ID in a separate column. The table should look like this:
DimensionId MemberId
categoryid 1
categoryid 2
categoryid 3
custid 1
custid 2
custid 3
...
Let's name this table 'All Dimensions'. The table should not have any relationships to other tables (this is similar to the Parameter Table pattern.
Change your measures to apply a virtual relationship whenever something is selected on the 'All Dimensions' table, to properly filter the fact table:
SUM('factSale'[Freight])
would become:
SWITCH(
SELECTEDVALUE('All Dimensions'[DimensionId]),
"categoryid", CALCULATE(SUM('factSale'[Freight]),
KEEPFILTERS(TREATAS(VALUES('All Dimensions'[MemberId]), 'factSale'[CategoryId])),
"custid", CALCULATE(SUM('factSale'[Freight]),
KEEPFILTERS(TREATAS(VALUES('All Dimensions'[MemberId]), 'factSale'[CustId])),
"empid", CALCULATE(SUM('factSale'[Freight]),
KEEPFILTERS(TREATAS(VALUES('All Dimensions'[MemberId]), 'factSale'[EmpId])),
// ... etc. for all dimensions ...
, // Fallback, when nothing is selected on 'All Dimensions'
IF(NOT ISFILTERED('All Dimensions'[MemberId]),
SUM('factSale'[Freight])
)
)
Put the [DimensionId] column into a slicer and use the [MemberId] column as the axis on your bar chart. Note that the chart will not show anything unless exactly one item has been filtered on the [DimensionId] slicer.
Explanation: The SWITCH statement determines if any selection has been made on the [DimensionId] column of the 'All Dimensions' table. In that case, a filter is applied to the fact table, depending on which dimension has been selected, using the TREATAS function. We're using KEEPFILTERS to make sure that any existing filters made directly on the individual dimensions are kept as-is.
In case no selection has been made on the [DimensionId] column, we want to fall back to the standard measure SUM('factSale'[Freight]) but since we don't want to repeat this measure for all items on the [MemberId] column, we use IF(NOT ISFILTERED( ... to make sure that we return only a blank value, if [MemberId] is currently used on the chart axis.
