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
