Using the values from the filter pane

Hi all,

 

Not sure if I have overthought this, but is there a way to reference the values selected in the filter pane?

 

I'm looking to show a breakdown on client, while showing figures like total revenue. I know I can show this in two different tables, but I'd like to show them together and do any further calculations with them.

 

simple example:

SUM(revenue_of_all_clients) - SUM(revenue_of_filtered_client)

 

Thanks in advance for any help/clarification!

    Hi,

     

    any measure/value that you add to your report will take into account values from the filter pane unless you overrule the filter setting of a visual or table. So you would need an extra calculated measure to NOT take the filter into account.

     

    In your simple example, you would need:

     

    calculated measure =

    var rev_all_clients = calculate(sum(revenue), all(Client[name]))

    var rev_filtered_client = calculate(sum(revenue))

    return 

    rev_all_clients - rev_filtered_client
