ADDING COLUMN VALUES TO SELECTED PARAMETER

Hello All,  

 

I have one question and i am not sure is it possible in power bi or not.

 

There is a column of user name in table and i want to specify some criteria to it based on user selection.

 

Eg. Column name is user name and i have created one table name Selection.

 

I want to add user name to selection which i have made.

 

Suppose username is Cat and in selection there are 2 dropdowns Animal and Not animal.

So if someone selects Animal then value sholud be added to animal field in selection.

 

In this way i want dynamic value based on selection , 

 

PLEASE HELP, IF WE CAN APPLY THIS IN POWER BI OR THERE ARE SOME OTHER WAYS TO ACHIEVE.

 

Thanks.

@MiteshY Hi!

Yes, it is possible to achieve the functionality you described in Power BI. You can use a combination of slicers and calculated columns to add the username to a specific category based on user selection.

Here are the steps you can follow:

  1. Create a slicer for the "User Name" column in your table.

  2. Create two additional slicers for the "Animal" and "Not Animal" categories.

  3. Add a new calculated column to your table using the DAX formula:Category =
    IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE('Selection'[Animal]) = "Animal",
    "Animal",
    IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE('Selection'[Not Animal]) = "Not Animal",
    "Not Animal",
    BLANK()
    )
    )

  4. Add the new "Category" column to your table visual.

  5. When a user selects a username in the "User Name" slicer, they can also select either "Animal" or "Not Animal" from the corresponding slicer to assign the user to the selected category.BBF

Thank you @BeaBF for your response.

 I have tried what you have said above, but i am not getting the desired output. It would be great if you can share sample file.
