Creating a filter from measures

[OCBB_SFAFPandA]

Hello,

I have 2 measures I am using (TY Sales, LY Sales). 

I created a measure (with help from this board) to summarize if TY sales or LY sales is 0 for the filtered time period, it returns a 1, otherwise 0.

IF(coalesce([TY Sales],0) = 0,1,if(coalesce([LY Sales],0) = 0,1,0))

How would I be able to get this in a slicer or the page level filter pane? Ideally I would rename the 0/1 to some text

Hi, @OCBB_SFAFPandA ;

1. Calculation column/table not support dynamic changed based on filter or slicer.
2. Measure can be affected by filter/slicer, so you can use it to get dynamic summary result in a visual by its row context.

So you could not drag a measure into slicer, this will lead to an infinite loop.

Until now, we can't add measure in Page level filter, please review this feature request and vote it.

This can be done, what is the problem?

The TY/LY sales are measures and PBI doesn't allow me to drag the condition measure to a slicer or filter pane. On the filter pane, I can only do it on a visual

Some other solutions I saw were to include in condition formula in my table and make it "invisible" and filter that way. But I need the users to have the option with a slicer/page visual pane to either have the condition on or off.
