Neat feature you are using here and I hope I've understood it correctly. Remove Service from  the main table, but include Category. This will 'hide' the main table until something is selected in the Service slicer.

Thank you, Riny.

Yes - that works, but it's the services that I am wanting to show in the table rather than the categories!

Then I can't help you I'm afraid. Perhaps someone else.

Had another look at it. What if you put both the Category and Service 'is filtered' on the visual?

Nothing selected in Category will hide the table and the Service slider buttons.

Select a Category and the table will show all for that category and the Service slicer becomes visible.

Thank you for looking again, Riny

Yes, (I think) I've tried that also, but I don't want to show all the services in the table. I need to wait until one has been selected in the slicer and just display that.

I've tried:

Are you suggesting something different?

I've also looked at adding a button to press before the table is displayed (unhidden!) but there isn't an on_click type function for buttons. 

I'm now looking at adding a 'button' via a new slicer with 'Apply' and 'Clear' and using the SELECTEDVALUE to trigger the filter. Since that field won't be in the table, I'm thinking it might work!

Thanks

I ran out of ideas. Sorry.

Yet again, I had another idea!

Create a calculated column in dimServices, called Svc, for example:

Brilliant logic! Thank you, again, Riny.

Best wishes

It took a while, but glad we figured it out.
