Measure as a filter

Hello pbi community

 

I hope you can help me with this question.

 

Is there any possibility to take a dax measure into a visual filter? or how can I achieve this?

 

Thanks in advance

@fabianfilth you cannot directly use a DAX measure in a visual filter.
But you can achieve a similar result by creating a calculated column replicating the DAX measure's logic and then using that column as a visual filter.

 

By creating a calculated column, you effectively store the DAX measure's results in a new column in your data model, which can then be used as a filter in visuals.

 

Note:
Calculated columns use storage space and are pre-calculated during data refresh, so you should be cautious when using them, especially with large datasets.

Please let me know if this works

 

Thanks

Thanks
