The idea is to allow specific conditions of data from a visual to impact the visibility of another visual.

For example if data in one visual greater than X, then hide Visual A.

I understand that such functionality would introduce the need to name visuals in PowerBI -- but this is not different than Excel, and would perhaps introduce the ability to manipulate visuals even further.

RE: ability to show/hide visuals based on conditionals

Whether with a conditional measure in Dax (IF or similar) and/or a segmentation selection, the idea is that a visualization (e.g. a table) is hidden or shown. Very useful especially for sharing a dashboard in the organization and PBI Services.It is a real shame that after 8 years there is still no progress on this idea.

Like other Microsoft forums, it's an idea cemetery. Similar suggestions are not managed and merged, thus further splitting the votes. No updates as to the status (reviewed, in-progress, won't do, etc..) Participation is nearly pointless unfortunately.

3 years later, still not enough votes to be built-in or being worked on... depressing.

This function is important to dynamic report design. The workaround for adding a transparent card overlay works for limited use cases, and only allows for one visual behind the card. The option to display a range of different visuals based on a calculation would enable some very dynamic report builds.

RE: ability to show/hide visuals based on conditionals

This can be achieved with the following approach:
1. Add a card visual and make the layer order of the card such that it comes after the visual above which it is placed.
2. In the original visual which is now above the card, add conditional formatting for the background. This conditional formatting should be based on a field value (create a measure that returns the color code).
3. The measure used would be something like below:
Measure =
IF(
,
"#FFFFFF",
"#FFFFFF00"
)

In Business Objects it is possible to show/hide visuals based on a formula

Really important. Workaround of overlaying a card with conditional transparent background is really not workable because it takes focus and you can't interact with the visual underneath it.
