Hi,
Yes, there's a workaround to prevent changes in a specific column when filtering in Power BI, you can follow these steps:
Create a New Table:
- Go to the “Model” view.
- Right-click on your existing table (e.g., “Sales”) and select “New Table.”
- Name the new table
Copy Data:
- In the new table, create columns that mirror the columns you want to display without changes.
- For example, if you want to preserve the “Department” column, create a new column in the “Filtered Sales” table with the same name and copy the data from the original “Department” column.
Use the New Table in Visualizations:
- In your visualizations (e.g., table visual), use the columns from the “Filtered Sales” table instead of the original table.
- When you filter or interact with the report, the values in the “Filtered Sales” table won’t change.
