Get value from two data slicer which use the same column

Hello,

 

I want to get the value from two data slicers, which are using the same column (so I can not use selectedvalue). How can I do that? For a little context with the first data slicer the user can choose the start activity from the column activity and with the second one the user can choose the end activity from the same column activity. Then I want to calculate the lead time between them with a measure.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @flo3o  I think this is not possible to capture different value from 2 different slicer of the same column. To achieve this you need 2 disconnected table with single column. 

If you want this, create 2 disconnect table using the same columne. For example:

StartActivityTable = DISTINCT('YourTable'[Activity])
EndActivityTable = DISTINCT('YourTable'[Activity])

 

Then create 2 different measure to capture Start and End activity. For example:

SelectedStartActivity = SELECTEDVALUE('StartActivityTable'[Activity])
SelectedEndActivity = SELECTEDVALUE('EndActivityTable'[Activity])

 

Now you can use this 2 measure to your calculation to calculate the lead time between them.


Hope this helps!!

If this solved your problem, please accept it as a solution and a kudos!!
