Develop an item formatting property which allows to set the visibility of a report item when you want to conditionally hide the item based on a report parameter or some other expression that you specify (also DAX expressions).
You can develop this incrementally starting from visuals, then text boxes, then shapes and buttons....
If you want to go the extra mile, you can also develop a functionality that allows the final user to toggle the visibility of report items.
For more information and since it was an available and really useful capability see "Add an Expand or Collapse Action to an Item (Report Builder and SSRS)".

I double checked in the ideas database and there are many ideas describing the same functionality; this is the reason why I do believe this is really required and will try to collect all the previous votes under this item.

RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)
would be very useful. if variable = ... then show or hide a visual
RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)
Please take care of this idea.
It's so obvious that the users want to hide some filters depending on the conditions.
I found some workaround (with background of a Card), but it cannot work properly with clickable items (like dropdowns).

RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)
waow.. this will be much helpful
RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)
Used it all the time in Qlikview. It definitely adds more power to a BI tool! Bookmarks sadly do not conditionally show/hide based on particular field value.
RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)
No conditional/dynamic show/hide is such a no brainer to empower robust development. Without features like these, I'm sticking with Qlik....
RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)
I would need this too! we need to concur signatures of beneficiaries and their names, we have the path to my local drive, but I can't insert on the table.
We do it manually using visual basics in excel but the interphase and filters work much better in power BI
RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)
Would love to be able to hide a visual! I would use it to display data in a different visual between mobile and desktop versions of a report. Right now the mobile version can only use visuals which have been used in the desktop version, but sometimes that just doesn't work very well and I'd love to setup special mobile-only views.
RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)
I agree and I hope this is added and expanded to include buttons as well.
RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)
If possible I'd like to go one step further and overlay two items in one location, dynamically hiding one or the other under certain circumstances. So I may, for example, have a data graphic some time, and a message box (e.g. "No data available") at other times.
RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)
Good Idea. I made a measure that builds me a link to a certain page once you select an item in the report, but the link is broken (actually blank) when nothing is selected. That link is is under a button, that should not be visible as long as nothing is selected. It is confusing for the end user to have a button that he cannot use. I was forced to create a warning message (and make the report look messier) to inform the user that the button is inactive. It would be very helpful to have an option to hide the button based on measure value, or other rules and scenarios
