Create a Slicer that will filter across multiple columns
I need to create a filter that will allow a user to select products listed across multiple columns
I have a sales/fact table structured like the following:
DealId Product1 Product2 Product3 Product4
a 1 0 1 0
b 0 1 0 0
c 0 0 0 1
d 1 1 0 0
I am trying to create a product slicer that will allow the selection of any deal where the selected product equals 1.
So far I have created a separate table with the distinct products listed in a column but I cannot figure out how to link it back to the sales table
I feel like the answer to this is very straightforward but I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it. Does anyone know the best way to do this?
Not certain I am 100% understanding the issue here but generally you would want to unpivot your Product columns so that you ended up with a table like:
DealId,Product,Value
a,Product1,1
a,Product2,0
a,Product3,0
a,Product4,1
b,Product1,0
