Show and Hide Filter Pane

Hi Experts,

I want to hide my filter pane in my qlik sense application. I have 3 filter panes Year, Month & Week. All visible on opening the app. I want to achieve a action which is possible with qlikview. If user choose month filterpane week filter should hide, if week is choose directly month filterpane should hide. How to achieve this in QLIKSENSE?

Any idea????

Thanks in advance.

Reg,

Dhana R

Hi Dhanavindhan,

There is no standard possibility for this is Qlik Sense. But you can use the Sheet Menu extension from Vizlib. This gives you the possibility to 'remove' them when you don't use them.

Hi Dhanavindhan

you can create a container and add corresponding Filter pane to it. Once filter added, you can show/hide the container based on your actions.

Hope this helps.

And apparently this is still the case in 2026. You cannot conditionally enable/disable a selector on the filter pane. There are many situations where this is very useful, like for example:
- A filter pane with multiple selectors, a given set of users don't have access to some of them thus you want to hide them
- A filter pane with multiple selectors, defined as a master object/item. On some sheets you might want to hide some selector. Right now you are forced to define multiple selector objects on different sheets. If they are almost the same, there is no purpose of create that many, a single one with a few conditionals would do it.

We could use multiple individual selectors within a containers to handle visibility, but this is not optimal. Adaptation to different screen sizes doesn't work as well as having all together on a single Filter pane. Also, if selector to hide is on the middle you get an annoying white space that doesn't look good!

You could try putting it in a tabbed container?

I would use the show condition and an if check to solve this.

On the month Filter, I would put an if check such as,

IF ( GETSELECTEDCOUNT (Week) >0,0,1)

On the Week Filter,

On the month Filter, I would put an if check such as,

IF ( GETSELECTEDCOUNT (Month) >0,0,1)

I don't think container is an option. I can work if you have one or two filters.
When you have 10 filters and 4 of them should have a conditional (due to whatever, user / role restriction, context of selections, etc). Using a container is not an option due to:
1) The amount of combinations it to high, you might need 10 or 20 different filter panes to cover all cases
2) It's not a single object / master item anymore. You need 10 or 20.... (one without filter A, another without filter B, another will both, etc)

There are workarounds, neither of them provide a good enough solution so far.
On Ideation there is a request on ideation for this feature.
