Hi everybody, I am having some trouble with matrix. How can I check if the top level or a lower level is selected in a matrix hierarchy. I cannot use the isinscope function because I only want to process the selected item, not every item at the same level in the matrix.

    Hi,kemaley 

    Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:

    1.You can create other measures that return values that represent hierarchy levels based on what is selected, here is my example:

    Use an IF statement to check if you are at this hierarchy level and, based on your situation, use the ISFILTERED() function as an alternative technique when the ISINSCOPE() function is not available:

     

    HierarchyLevel = 
    IF(
        ISFILTERED('LEVEL'[class3]),
        "class3",
        IF(
            ISFILTERED('LEVEL'[class2]),
            "class2",
            IF(
            ISFILTERED('LEVEL'[class1]),
            "class1",
            "None"
        )
        )
    )
    

     

    Here's my final result, which I hope meets your requirements.

    2.You can also look directly at the icons below the matrix visualization to determine, if you have expanded the hierarchy:

     

    3.Here is the relevant documentation:

    ISFILTERED function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

    Drill mode in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
