The idea is to allow specific conditions of data from a visual to impact the visibility of another visual.

For example if data in one visual greater than X, then hide Visual A.

I understand that such functionality would introduce the need to name visuals in PowerBI -- but this is not different than Excel, and would perhaps introduce the ability to manipulate visuals even further.

Yes!! Definitely need this. Would be very happy if we could also show visuals conditionally, based off slicer selections.

I would like to combine this with a request to group visualizations, which would make this capability much simpler and powerful.

A very good request.
I would be happy if I can set a visual (e.g. a card) to be visible or invisible, based on the displayed value.

RE: ability to show/hide visuals based on conditionals

Here is a similar idea with more votes. This one is more specific asking for conditional show/hide vs just dynamic (eg. a button).

RE: ability to show/hide visuals based on conditionals

This is what I was looking for too. They need to have the ability show or hide based on the number of results etc. There would be potential for overlaid visuals that show for different types of data.

It would be useful too if internally to visualisations such as the grids parts could be set to hide if they meet certain conditions i.e. A financial column is full of zeros being hidden as non relevant.
