I have a Tasks table with this data
And I need to show data in such way with filters
Notice that I don't want to show Release Areas in the filters on the report screen
Now, I need a measure that when we select Area, it should show Hrs of the person for the respective related Release Area (for e.g. Release\Area 1 in the above shown example)
I have written a measure, but it's showing hrs for all records, instead of only one , like this below -
Measure is like this -
Here is the Power BI File
Solved! Go to Solution.
I would use Power Query to split out the base area as a new column on the area master table and use that on the slicer. Then amend the measure to be
Release Hrs =
VAR AreaFilter = TREATAS( SELECTCOLUMNS( VALUES( 'Area Master'[Area] ), "@release", "Core\Release\" & 'Area Master'[Area] ), 'Area Master'[Area Path] )
VAR IterationFilter = VALUES( 'Iteration Master'[Iteration Path] )
RETURN CALCULATE( SUM( 'Tasks'[Hrs] ), AreaFilter, IterationFilter )
See the attached file.
Try
Release Hrs =
VAR AreaFilter =
TREATAS(
SELECTCOLUMNS(
VALUES( 'Area Master'[Area Path] ),
"@release", "Release\" & 'Area Master'[Area Path]
),
'Area Master'[Area Path]
)
VAR IterationFilter =
VALUES( 'Iteration Master'[Iteration Path] )
RETURN
CALCULATE(
SUM( 'Tasks'[Hrs] ),
AreaFilter,
IterationFilter
)
@johnt75 Sorry, I missed adding a Word "Core\" to the Area path.
When I have that, this measure is not working anymore.
Please take a look at this PBI file

RETURN CALCULATE( SUM( 'Tasks'[Hrs] ), AreaFilter, IterationFilter )

Got it.. Thanks a lot !
