Filter from disconnected table

Hi!

 

I have a fact table with both actual numbers, and budget numbers like the one below.

 

DateOrignVersionValue
1/1-2019Actual 1.000,00
1/1-2019BudgetA900,00
1/1-2019BudgetA150,00
1/1-2019BudgetB1.125,00

 

Beside that table, i've got a disconnected table with the distinct budget versions;

 

Budget version
A
B

 

I would now like to create a measure;

SUM([Values])

 

... but only for the rows where FACT[Version] is equal to the selected/filtered value in 'Budget versions[Version].

Here is one way.

 

Selected Budget = calculate(sum(FactTable[Value]), treatas(values(Disconnected[Budget Version]), FactTable[Version]))

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

The version given by @ibarrau  can be expressed in a much more succinct way:

CALCULATE(
	SUM('Fact'[Value]),
	'Fact'[Version] = 
		SELECTEDVALUE(Budget[Budget Version])
)

Best

Hi. I will assume your real case is different because right now you can just add Version from Fact table to slicer and got the result. Anyway. If there are not so many values you can use Switch like this

Value of target = 
SWITCH(
    SELECTEDVALUE(Budget[Budget Version];0);
    "A"; CALCULATE( SUM('Fact'[Value]) ; 'Fact'[Version] = "A" );
    "B"; CALCULATE( SUM('Fact'[Value]) ; 'Fact'[Version] = "B" );
    SUM('Fact'[Value])
)

Check it out running:

Hope this helps

Hey Ibarrau!

 

Thanks for the shot! I actually came up to your solution aswell, but as i didn't know which entries that will appear in the Version column, i would like to avoid a "hardcoded" solution 🙂
