Measure based on selected multiple values
Hi everybody, I have a calculated column that, to be used in a visual, should return either:
- 1 if the value of a different column of the same table is found selected in a slicer or table. Note that the slicer might have multiple values selected;
- BLANK if not
I'm trying with this, but it doesn't work:
Calculated column in Table1 =
IF(
Table1[Column1] IN VALUES(Table2[Batch]),
1,
BLANK()
)where Table2 is the one whose values are "sliced".
Thanks
Phil
OnlyPhilip - It's difficult to say exactly given the current information but maybe something like:
Measure = VAR __Table = ADDCOLUMNS('Table',"Column", IF( Table1[Column1] IN VALUES(Table2[Batch]), 1, BLANK() ) ) RETURN SUMX(__Table,[Column])Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

OnlyPhilip - Calculated columns cannot be dynamic based upon user interaction. You will need to create a measure.
Thanks Greg_Deckler
I'll try to adapt my code using a measure then. Could you give me a hint on how to make a similar IF statement in a measure?
How can I check, one by one so to take the appropriate action, the presence of multiple selected values against another list of values?
