DAX Measure

I have a measured column in a data table with the following code:

 

ClientCategorySum = 

        SUM('Trades'(adjustedgrossamount)),

        FILTER(

                  ALLSELECTED('Trades'),

                  'Trades'(ClientLastName) = SELECTEDVALUE('Trades'(ClientLastName))&&

                  'Trades'(Category) = SELECTEDVALUE('Trades'(Category))

      )

)

What it does is returns a value in the column that has a sum by category. I want to filter the dataset by this measured column with the options of + or - sums, but a measure cant be put into a slicer and a calculated column wont sort properly by the other filters I have on the dashboard. If anyone has any workaround suggestions I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance!

Hi @LoganFFS ,

 

I used some sample data on my side and tried to reproduce the issue, but it's working fine for me. I used following measures.

ClientCategorySum = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Trades'[adjustedgrossamount]),
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED('Trades'),
        'Trades'[ClientLastName] = SELECTEDVALUE('Trades'[ClientLastName]) &&
        'Trades'[Category] = SELECTEDVALUE('Trades'[Category])
    )
)
ClientCategorySumSignFilter = 
VAR SelectedSign = SELECTEDVALUE(MeasureFilter[Sign])
VAR ClientSum =
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Trades'[adjustedgrossamount]),
        FILTER(
            ALLSELECTED('Trades'),
            'Trades'[ClientLastName] = SELECTEDVALUE('Trades'[ClientLastName]) &&
            'Trades'[Category] = SELECTEDVALUE('Trades'[Category])
        )
    )
RETURN
    SWITCH(
        SelectedSign,
        "Positive", IF(ClientSum > 0, 1, 0),
        "Negative", IF(ClientSum < 0, 1, 0),
        1
    )

expected output:

Hi @LoganFFS ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Thank you @maruthisp for your inputs on this issue.

After thoroughly reviewing the details you provided, I was able to reproduce the scenario, and it worked on my end. I have used sample data on my end and successfully implemented it.     

I am including .pbix file for your better understanding, please have a look into it.

Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.

 

Thank you.

Hi there, sorry for my absence from the forum here. I am not authorized to open a Pbix file on my computer here so is there a way you can provide the measures code written in the response? If you are able to do that it would be hugely appreciated. Thanks and sorry once again for my absence.
