We are trying to hide the native filter panel of the embeded powerbi report, and create a toally new look filter panel aside the embeded powerbi report with ourselves html and js code.
The problem we have is how do we get all the options of a filter? we need to get the options of a filter so that we can populate them on custom filter panel.
I find the powerbi client js sdk as a method "getFilters" of a report, but the filter values is empty unless we check all the options on the powerbi native fitler panel manually.
How can we get any filter available options?
The getFilters method returns the filters currently applied to the object (can be a report or a page). That's why it will be empty if no filter is applied.
For the how to get all the options of a filter part, the short answer is such thing doesn't exist.
There are two types of filters in Power BI, Basic and Advanced. Basically, any column in any of the tables in the data model can be set as a filter target, even though it's not used in the visuals. And the filtered values can be any value compatible with the column data type. Thus, there are many, if not infinite combinations of filters.
Instead, you can check how to construct filters to set meaningful filters to the report or page. Or best, adding slicers to the report during the report building phase.

I am moving to Blazor and attempting to work out how to use custom filtering in Radzen's DataGrid. Here is an example of what I am looking to do (from the old app I need to migrate):
As you can see, there is a filtering section above the grid. Of course I know that Radzen has built-in filtering in the grid itself, but that doesn't help when the filter you want to apply is to a column that is not visible on the grid..
So basically: how do you filter on columns that are not in the grid? I am using OData.. if there is a way I can modify the OData filter when the search button is clicked and reload the grid, that would be helpful.
Sorry if I misunderstood you. As you said, when search button clicked you can load data from the DB by using oData filter and reload the Radzen data grid.
then just call StateHasChanged();
I worked out a solution. You can see it here: https://forum.radzen.com/t/radzen-datagrid-custom-filtering/9448/12
Basically I copied their code from /Radzen.Blazor/QueryableExtension.cs and modified the ToODataFilterString() method to use a collection of FilterDescriptor instead of RadzenGridColumn<T>.. As the name implies, it returns an OData query string.. which I use to filter the grid's data. A working example, with full source code can be found here: https://github.com/gordon-matt/Extenso/tree/develop/Demos/Demo.Extenso.AspNetCore.Blazor.OData
I've been looking for an approach to remove unwanted values from a views grid column filtering dropdown but I'm not sure if its even possible.
A specific view in our app only displays results where the column will contain 5 values, however the column option set has 20+. Is it possible to remove the unwanted 15 values from being displayed when the view's filter by function is used?
This documentation does not mention any way the values can be hidden.
I have added a web resource to a view column before, to change text values into an image, however I don't think this is an applicable place to add a script to hide filter by values.
I have developed plugins so not against using this medium if the approach works and does not introduce a performance hit.
Unfortunately that header filter is not open for customization/configuration. Though MS mention it as Excel like filter, it is not going to give the filter options for only values from current list. It will load the full options list.
When we had such requirements in the past - we have developed a PCF control with grid + filters and used it instead.
I am working a data visualization and I have removed any filter on the whole page and also turned off all the filters on the visualization as well as the page. I still see cannot see the data.
But I see the data is still getting filtered, How do I remove these?
this is how my visualization looks like.
The screenshot in your comment clearly shows two slicers that define a date range. The visual is filtered by these slicers, not by page filters or filters on the visual. This is working as intended and is not a malfunction.
If you don't want the slicers to filter the visual, you need to configure the cross filtering for the visual. Use Format > Edit Interactions to control which slicers affect which visuals. Select the slicer, then click the icon on the target visual that looks like this:
In your screenshot, the visible slicers and the slicers in the pop-up of the visual have different names. That points to slicers that have been deleted from the page but are still filtering the data.
In Tableau 9.2, how can I use a filter which filters from one dashboard to another so that when I trigger it, it does not switch dashboards? I have found this answer online, yet the poster cautions that their method should only be used for V7 and not V9.
Create another action as a filter in the sheet you want to stay in and select all of the dashboards as source and target. As this is the newest action it should make you stay in the same sheet while you keep applying different filters to your data.
In the Dashboard Menu go to Actions and add a Filter,in the filter select source dashboard and select other dashboard as target.This will redirect you to different tab.
You could use a parameter along with calculated fields, or use the JavaScript API
Filter actions also change to the target sheet or dashboard, if not already in focus (as you found out)
If you are doing single selection and your list of values is relatively stable, you could use a parameter instead -- loading the initial values from your field. And then define calculated fields that access the parameter value and use those fields on filter shelves as desired.
Changing a parameter value does not change the view to a target sheet -- unlike a filter action.
The downside of this approach is that the parameter values are not loaded dynamically from a data source and that parameters can only have a single value.
Another option could be to use the JavaScript API in some way. You could listen for changes to the selection, and take whatever action you want in response. That only works if you publish to Tableau Server, and you may want to then pull out some of the navigation controls into your own HTML/CSS -- say to filter the second dashboard just before switching to it.
In drupal I have created a view to display node's title and added exposed filter for filtering content. When the view page is loaded it is returning two nodes, I do not know on what basis it is returning those two nodes. I want no result to be displayed until I select some value in filter. Please suggest?
Views is a query builder that starts with the simplest, broadest possible query, and filters are required to narrow that query to include only the items you wish. If you are familiar with SQL syntax, the default query would look something like this:
SELECT title, body FROM 'node'
This is why you're seeing two nodes when you load the page. There's no filter applied, so it's showing everything.
In order to get your View to only display items once the user has selected a value with the exposed filter, go into the Advanced > Exposed Form > Exposed Form Style and select Input required. I have tested this using Views 7.x-3.7 and I believe it will give you the behaviour you're looking for.
