Drillthrough based on disconnected table
I have a model where there is a fact table of transactions, a date table (related to fact table), and a disconnected date table (used for filtering). The model structure is like the below: ...

Community ChampionYou need to pick the filter that gets passed up and "manually" apply it to the visual.
I wrote the following measure:
VisualFilter =
VAR SelectedMonthEnd = SELECTEDVALUE ('DisconnectedDate'[MonthEndDate] )
VAR Result =
CALCULATE (
INT ( NOT ( ISEMPTY ( Transactions ) ) ),
'Date'[MonthEndDate] = SelectedMonthEnd
)
RETURN Result
It reads the selected month end from the filter context and then checks if the transaction table is empty when MonthEndDate gets filtered by it. The NOT flips the logic found so it returns TRUE when there are records and then INT turns it to a 1/0.
Which can then be placed in the visual filter on your drill through page set equal to 1:
bcdobbs Thank you so much for your suggestion! I tried the first one:
VisualFilter =
VAR SelectedMonthEnd = SELECTEDVALUE ('DisconnectedDate'[MonthEndDate] )
VAR Result =
CALCULATE (
INT ( NOT ( ISEMPTY ( Transactions ) ) ),
'Date'[MonthEndDate] = SelectedMonthEnd
)
RETURN Result
I put that measure on a card and saw that it does accurately change 1/0 based on selection. However, when I added it as a filter on the drillthrough visual, the drillthrough did not filter correctly. When a date is selected from the slicer, the drillthrough is blank. Do you have any suggestions?
