Layered Filtering in Power BI

Hello

 

Wanted to get some help with filtering on a Power BI map. 

 

The map has a location filter, radius filter and locations description filter. 

 

Data looks like this: 

 

Location|   Description|  Lat |  Long

1                        A

2                        A

3                        A

4                        B

5                        B

6                        B

7                        C

8                        C

9                        C

 

When a location is selcted, a red bubble is placed on the map based on the radius being 0 (starting point) and everything else is assigned a color based on the descripiton. The radius filter is used to find locations around the starting point (selected location) using the Lat and Long in the data.

 

My issue is when I select the location on the location filter (center point of radius/red dot on map) and then select a descripition the red dot disappears if the description is different.

 

For example - if I select location 1 (starting point/red bubble) and want to see all locations that have a description of B in a 5 mile radius from location 1. Once I select B on the description filter, the red bubble/radius starting point assigned to location 1 on my map disappears. How can I prevent this from happening? 

 

Here is the Dax formula I am using to color code the map based on the locations descriptions and location selected (starting point).

 

 

SELECTED STORE COLOR =
IF(HASONEFILTER('MAP DATA ' [Location ]),
SWITCH(TRUE(),
[Dis]=0, "#F60707",
var A = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('MAP DATA'[Description]) = "A",TRUE,FALSE)
var B = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('MAP DATA'[Description]) = "B",TRUE,FALSE)
var C = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('MAP DATA'[Description]) = "C",TRUE,FALSE)

RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
A,"#3FF748",
B,"#8275FB",
B,"#FFFB15")
))

 

 

*I will note that I am using a treemap as my description filter on the map:

I think by assinging a variable for the distance making it 0 will do the trick for the red buble try this please

SELECTED STORE COLOR =

VAR SelectedLocation = SELECTEDVALUE('MAP DATA'[Location])

VAR SelectedDescription = SELECTEDVALUE('MAP DATA'[Description])

VAR Distance = [Dis]

 

RETURN

IF(

HASONEFILTER('MAP DATA'[Location]),

SWITCH(

TRUE(),

Distance = 0, "#F60707", -- Red for the selected starting point

SelectedDescription = "A", "#3FF748", -- Green for "A"

SelectedDescription = "B", "#8275FB", -- Blue for "B"

SelectedDescription = "C", "#FFFB15", -- Yellow for "C"
