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)

I would like all objects to have visibility property with the possibility of adding conditions to values ​​or other objects.

RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)

It would be so useful having an option to make visibility of an object conditional.

RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)

Would be useful to be able to use for example variable to calculate value and based on that value to show/hide a graphical visual . If conditions are met, show visual, otherwise hide.

RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)

This Feature will be very useful or you can say becomes essential in some scenarios.

e.g. if Month is selected I want to show Matrix Day wise, if not then show the matrix Column wise.

Now I have to give one more button where user need to toggle, which could be avoided if this feature is enabled.

RE: Visibilty (Hide an Item)

we would like to use this feature to change the chart type if users select a single year of data (aka single x-axis) b/c the single dots that remain when a user selects 'include' on a line graph looks terrible. We could change to a pie chart.
