What if Parameter returning specific values

I am creating a what if parameter slider. My goal is to use this slider to only include certain values that have data in that year. For example, if a student has a test score in year 18-19 then they would be included when I select "1" in the what if slicer. If the student does not have a score, then they would be excluded. If a student has a test score for 17-18 and 18-19 then they would be included in the "2" selection of the slicer and so on to four years (if selecting the  4 slicer then they would have data for 15-16 through 18-19 and if they miss a year then they would be excluded). I'm not sure how to build the measure to tie in the what if slicer. 

  • Hi, dwel0120 

    According to your description and sample data, I can roughly understand your requirement, and I’v also created some test data to make a test, I think you can try my steps:

    This is my test data:

     

    1. Create a calculated column in the main table like this:
    Year count = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Year]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),[StudentID]=EARLIER('Table'[StudentID])))
    1. Create a What-if parameter and add a slicer to the page:

     

    1. Create a measure:
    Flag =
    
    IF(MAX('Table'[Year count])=[Parameter Value],1,0)
    1. Create a table chart and place it and apply a visual filter like this:

     

    And you can get what you want.

    You can download my test pbix file below

    Thank you very much!

    Measure  =

    var _1 = distinctcount(Table[year])

    Var _2 = countx(filter(values(Table[Student]), _1 = selectedvalue(whatif[parameter])),[Student])

    return

    _2
