Filters - toggle vs. multiple

Hi,   I do not understand why a company here is filtered and why not:   If a toggle is applied, both results are correct:    But if I filter additionally for multiple attributes: ACME1 re...

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    When you select all the values in the Filter_Value_multiple1 slicer, it will filter the following rows in the Filter table:

     

              Filter_Value_toggle = "A"

             AND

             (Filter_Value_multiple1 = "is_friendly" OR Filter_Value_ multiple1 = "is_listed" OR Filter_Value_multiple1 =                      "is_regional")

     

    So both ACM1 and Gwanz are displayed.

     


    Similarly, when you select "is_listed" and "is_regional", the result is as follows.

     

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    If you need to only show "Gwanz" when you select "is_friendly", "is_listed" and "is_regional", I think you need use the measure and filter it when the result is not blank.

     

    Measure = 
IF(
    COUNTX(
        ALLSELECTED('Table'[Filter_Value_multiple1]),
        'Table'[Filter_Value_multiple1]
    ) 
    = 
    CALCULATE(
            DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Filter_Value_multiple1]),
            ALLSELECTED('Table'[Filter_Value_multiple1])
        ),
    1
)

     

    Best Regards,

Thank you very much!

That explanation helped a lot!

 

Additonal questions:

  • I do know I can edit the DAX of a measure. But I do not know how to edit the DAX of A) Slicers and B) between Slicers (= "connecting") - and if yes, should do it? Because I fear that the options would grow exponentially!
  • Should I create one table in Excel/one query for On/Off-Toggle-Slicers, another one for Slicers with singular options and another one for Slicers with multiple options - or should I combine them inside a single table/ one query?

Hi Anonymous ,

 

I cannot clearly understand. What kind of results do you expect to get with these two slicers?

    Hi v-kkf-msft,

     

    to get only "Gwanz". "ACM1" has not "is_friendly". The Toggle-slicer (A/B) seems take precedence over  the "multiple_options-slicer".

    Do I have to structure the underlying table differently?

     

     

    In the long term: the customer needs about 10 different slicers - some of them Toggles (between A and B), some of them Single selection (Either C OR D OR E) and some of them Multiple selection (multiple options can be true - F AND G AND H;  only F AND G; only G AND H; only F AND H)

     

    Should I:

    1: create different types of tables/queries for different types of slicers:

    A) Toggle 

    B) Single selection

    C) Multiple selection

    --> 3 tables - one for each type of slicers

     

    2: bunch them together inside one table

    --> 1 table

     

    or 3: create a new table for each single slicer

    --> about 10 tables...

     

    Bye

     

    Michael
