Measure as a slicer

Ethanhunt123 — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 11:37:06 GMT

I have three tables in my Power BI model:

Sales Order Fact
Order Date
Customer

All these tables are properly connected.

I’ve created a few DAX measures based on them:

Number of Customers with Order amount > $100
Number of Customers with Order amount ≤ $100

The amounts are grouped Year-to-Date (YTD). So if the user selects August, the total amount is calculated from January 1st to August 31st.

All calculations are working correctly. However, I now need to create a slicer to allow users to filter between "> $100" and "≤ $100". This is where I'm stuck.

I created a measure-based flag, but I have to manually apply the filter to each visual — and this report has many visuals. Also, I’m unable to apply the measure as a filter on Card visuals, which is a limitation.

Is there any alternative approach to creating a slicer that dynamically filters visuals based on "> $100" or "≤ $100" orders?

Expected output

The Customer table contains fields such as Name, Address, and customer Number.
The Order Date table is a standard date dimension with fields like Order Date and Month, Year.
The Sales Order Fact table includes details like Order Amount, Quantity, and other transaction-level data.

The report includes multiple visuals — such as cards, tables, bar charts, and several slicers.

I want to implement a filter where:

If the user selects "> 100", the report should display data only for customers whose total order amount is greater than $100.

If the user selects "≤ 100", the report should show data only for customers whose total order amount is $100 or less.

This filter should apply across the entire report to all visuals consistently.

Please specify more the content of each table you have and show the data model connections

What should happen if I select >100? What the >100 should filter? And in what table?

I would solve in this way

1 create a table with one column and two rows

<100

>100

This table will be not connected

If I select nothing or all the values of the slicer you see everything you see now

Otherwise you will see what you specify

What do you think? Can tou provide sanples of the tables so I create the pbix?

OK, now it is clear

So, can you share a sample of the data in a pbix (or just the sample of the data and I shall build the pbix), so I create the solution? Please share a few rows of all the tables involved

Othwerwise we try here by messages but that is usually long and painful without data

Create a disconnected slicer table with values "> 100" and "≤ 100"
Use it as a slicer in your report
Write a DAX measure that checks the selected slicer value and flags customers based on YTD order amount
Apply that flag measure as a filter (= 1) on all visuals — including cards, tables, and charts
