Multiple Column Filter
- Anonymous1 year ago
Hi, arosenberg
Thank you for your swift response. Based on the data structure you’ve provided, I have two proposals:
Before we begin with either option, we need to prepare the slicer. Therefore, I have created the following calculation table to generate columns for all managers, which will serve as the slicer.
Table 2 = VAR n1=SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"1",'Table'[Manager1]) VAR n2=SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"1",'Table'[Manager2]) VAR n3=SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"1",'Table'[Manager3]) VAR n4=SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"1",'Table'[Manager4]) RETURN DISTINCT(UNION(n1,n2,n3,n4))
Of course, this step's calculation table can also be processed using Power Query. Below are the detailed M language instructions:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wcs0tyMmvTE1VcFTSUTI0AhLOOZmpeSVgfkBRfkppMoRtAsQWQOybmJeYnlrkiGA6IZjOCKaLUqwOHuOdkIx3otx4kCJjE+zGO0KNtsBhkI6SAhijGAhSYWqGMNAZzb1GeqZA0hxMYphE0DQ3JNNA2owpMg05qkByhiSZBpIyt0CY5oJmGlrQ4YoODHNdgUKWBghzXdH8jGauK4Lpht2hIGFDQ+yB6ESiQ2MB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [em = _t, #"em #" = _t, Client = _t, Product = _t, Hours = _t, #"Sum Hours" = _t, Manager1 = _t, Manager2 = _t, Manager3 = _t, Manager4 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"em", type text}, {"em #", Int64.Type}, {"Client", type text}, {"Product", type text}, {"Hours", type number}, {"Sum Hours", type number}, {"Manager1", type text}, {"Manager2", type text}, {"Manager3", type text}, {"Manager4", type text}}), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"em #", "Client", "Product", "Hours", "Sum Hours"}), #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Removed Columns", {"em"}, "Attribute", "Value"), #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{"em", "Attribute"}), #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Removed Columns1") in #"Removed Duplicates"1.For the first proposal:
Firstly, you will need to select these fields in Power Query and then merge them.
Secondly, please use the following measures and apply them to the filters of the visual objects:
MEASURE = IF ( ISFILTERED ( 'Table 2'[1] ), IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( MAX ( 'Table'[Merged] ), MAX ( 'Table 2'[1] ) ), 1, 0 ), 1 )Here are the final results:
2.For the second proposal:
You can directly use the following measures and apply them to the filters of the visual objects:
Measure2 = VAR cc1 = MAX ( 'Table 2'[1] ) RETURN IF ( ISFILTERED ( 'Table 2'[1] ), IF ( CONTAINS ( 'Table', 'Table'[Manager1], cc1 ) || CONTAINS ( 'Table', 'Table'[Manager2], cc1 ) || CONTAINS ( 'Table', 'Table'[Manager3], cc1 ) || CONTAINS ( 'Table', 'Table'[Manager4], cc1 ), 1, 0 ), 1 )Here are the final results:

Thanks for the reply from Laxmanjatoth and johnt75 please allow me to provide another insight:
Hi, arosenberg
My approach is almost identical to that of Laxmanjatoth . I’ve created the following example to aid your understanding:
1.Firstly, let’s assume your original data looks like this:
2.Secondly, in Power Query, select all columns except the first one, as shown in the image below:
3.Then, remove any unnecessary columns:
4.Next, create the visualisation objects and slicers in the Desktop application:
You may need to note that there are null values in the slicer options, so we should add an additional filter:
5.Here's my final result, which I hope meets your requirements.
Can you share sample data and sample output in tabular format if I am misunderstanding? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.
When uploading a file, please be careful to delete sensitive information.
