Hello Capono

 

I think that you should use something like this:

let valueColumn: DataViewValueColumn = this.dataView.categorical.values[0];

let target: IFilterColumnTarget = {
    table: valueColumn.source.queryName.substr(0, valueColumn.source.queryName.indexOf('.')),
    column: valueColumn.source.displayName
};

return target;

Please let me know if this code resolves the issue.

    Hi,
    thanks .
    This works only if the measures are not aggregated, i already tried that and this works only if you have the correct table name and the correct column name which is not the case on aggregated values. I was hoping to be able on Filterung by a aggregated measures with .IFilterMeasureTarget.

      Have you tried something like this?

      let valueColumn: DataViewValueColumn = this.dataView.categorical.values[0];

let target: IFilterMeasureTarget = {
    table: valueColumn.source.queryName.substr(0, valueColumn.source.queryName.indexOf('.')),
    measure: valueColumn.source.queryName,
};

return target;

      Please let me know if that works. Otherwise, it'd be better to create a question at powerbi-models GitHub repository.

        Thanks, for your time. This didn't work there should be a documentation how to use this.
