Hello everyone!
I have a customer who does a lot of different filterings, i.e. for Article groups and subgroups, location groups and subgroups, including changing overlap and changing groups. To have one measure to sum them up, I thought I would work with a variable list in the filters, like this:
msrQuantity =
VAR
ItemList = "12345, 54321"
RETURN
CALCULATE(
SUM(InventoryData[QTY]),
FILTER(
InventoryData,
InventoryData[ItemNumber] IN {ItemList}
)
)
Ultimately, the ItemList would be a CONCATENATEX-Function, and there will be additional conditions added.
The function only returns data if the list is a single value (i.e. were it only "12345", I get the right item. I also tried putting them further into brackets like "{12345}, {54321}", but that doesn't change the table, either.
Is this possible, or are there better ways to achieve this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Just a second after I post this question I see I formatted the list wrong, each value needs to be in quotation marks, and not the whole string, like {"12345", "54321"}. The filter condition works that way, too. But then the question is how can I build such a list string i.e. using CONCATENATEX?
Hi @JEFriedrichs
lease use
msrQuantity =
VAR ItemList = { "12345", "54321" }
RETURN
CALCULATE (
SUM ( InventoryData[QTY] ),
FILTER ( InventoryData, InventoryData[ItemNumber] IN ItemList )
)
Thank you! I'm feeling really stupid right now, I saw that a minute after I made this post. Do you have any idea how I would automatically generate such a ItemList-String variably, though? I.e. using a CONCATENATEX?
@JEFriedrichs
Generate it out of what? What is the input? Also CNCATENATEX won't help you, you need a table not a scallar concatenated string value
Thank you so much for your help. Keeping it simple, it would be a dimProduct table that is filtered many different ways in i.a. a table visual with filter visuals next to it, so my initial thought would be replacing the List string with
VAR ItemList = CONCATENATEX(dimProduct, dimProduct[ItemNumber], ",")
But as you say, I don't get the right thing out of this. CONCATENATEX isn't the right function. How do I get there, though?
