Impacting related slicers with DAX

Anonymous — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 17:00:36 GMT

Hello,

I have following data model (fixed, cannot used both direction filters that solves my issue )

And my goal is to create report with 2 slicers (date and location) with condition that one slicer will involve second one (keep condition that current data model fix)

so if I will choose range of values, then range of location will be also changes (based on the date range)

I tried to put DAX field into location slicer, but it doesnt help, my guess was something like that:

SlicerDate = CALCULATETABLE(Location, USERELATIONSHIP(Sales[ID_Date],'Date'[ID]))

but getting error "The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value."

so may 2 questions

1) is it possible calculate dax measure and then assign it for slicer ?

2) If yes, what s the correct formula ? If no why I got this error it weird when calculatetable doesn t return table

thanks !!!

Anonymous , If I understand correctly, you wanted to have your slicers interact with each other. Slicers won't support measures. But I have a workaround,

Create a measure,

IsLocationHasSales = CALCULATE(COUNT(Sales[ID_Location]),CROSSFILTER(Sales[ID_Location],Location[ID_Location],Both))

Add this measure as a visual filter to Location Slicer and filter >= 1

Hope this helps!

Hi SivaMani ,

unfortunatelly it doesn t work, I create measure as you mention,

but I don t understand what you mean by "Add this measure as a visual filter to Location Slicer" you wrote that slicers doesn t support measures therefore I dont t know where to assign it, for filter I set up it correctly

thanks 🙂

Anonymous Select the slicer that has the Location Column added and drag the measure to Filter on this visual section in the filter pane as shown below,
