Hi,
I want to get a random line out a table. The table should be filtered by a slicer before selecting the line.
Example:
the starting table is:
ID-no name colour
103 shirts red
204 shirts blue
101 socks red
348 jacket blue
421 jacket green
333 jacket red
There is a slicer filtering the colours. I want to use this slicer (at run time) and generate a random selection of e.g. a "red" article.
I have had the idea to create a table with all the filtered entries. But I failed to apply the slicer argument to CALCULTETABLE. And the next step should be to get a random line (or ID-no) out of the created table.
But may be there is a better way the create the (random) line or ID-no in a different way.
Thank you for any help!
Hi Fowmy,
Thank you for your reply but you are right, this is not my intension. I want a DAX command pick a random line and show it in a visual. Sorry for not being correct enough.
@PeRoma
A random line can be picked one you select a colour from the slicer, the issue is the number will be static as long as you refresh your model. I think your expectation is not that.
