PathContains from SelectedValue issue with GUID

I have a Table of equipment records that are connected through the Account to Regions. When I attempt to use the PATHCONTAINS() with SELECTEDVALUE() It always returns False() where if I hard code ...

Pathcontains
SELECTEDVALUE

    Hi Jp_ON ,

    Thanks for your detailed reply. I updated my sample pbix file, please check if that is what you want. Please update the formula of measure [HeirarchyRegionInPath] as below:

    HeirarchyRegionInPath_New = 
VAR _Selectedname =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Region list'[Name] )
VAR _account =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Units'[Account] )
VAR _terr =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'esi_region'[esi_territory] ),
        FILTER (
            'esi_region',
            IFERROR ( SEARCH ( _Selectedname, 'esi_region'[Name], 1, 0 ), 0 ) > 0
        )
    )
VAR _accounts =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'account'[Name] ),
        FILTER ( 'account', 'account'[esi_territory] IN _terr )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( _account IN _accounts, 1 )

    Best Regards

    Took a few rounds but this was what we landed on. 

    Have a Table used for Selecting region(Region list) so that the relationships between tables doesn't restrict the avaialble Regions.


    Define 

    HierarchyPath = PATH(Regions[esi_regionid],Regions[Parent Region (esi_region)])


    Then against the Region table this Column is added and we filter the grids based on "RegionInPath is 1"

    RegionInPath =
    VAR SelectedRegion = SELECTEDVALUE('Region list'[Region])
    VAR FilteredTable =
        FILTER(regions, PATHCONTAINS(Regions[HierarchyPath], SelectedRegion))
    RETURN
        IF (
            ISBLANK(SelectedRegion),
            1, -- Show all records if no slicer is selected
            IF (
                ISEMPTY(FilteredTable),
                0, -- Record doesn't match filter
                1  -- Record matches filter
            )
        )

Hi Jp_ON ,

I updated the attached file, please check if that is what you want.

 

HeirarchyRegionInPath_New = 
VAR _Selectedname =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Region list'[Name] )
VAR _account =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Units'[Account] )
VAR _terr =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'esi_region'[esi_territory] ),
        FILTER (
            'esi_region',
            IFERROR ( SEARCH ( _Selectedname, 'esi_region'[Name], 1, 0 ), 0 ) > 0
            && IFERROR( SEARCH ( 'esi_region'[Region], 'esi_region'[HierarchyPath], 1, 0 ), 0 ) > 0
        )
    ) 

VAR _accounts =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'account'[Name] ),
        FILTER ( 'account', 'account'[esi_territory] IN _terr )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( _account IN _accounts, 1 )

I'm afraid what you have provided is the same as if I had just allowed the user to select the Region directly.

We need the PathContains(esi_region[HierarchyPath], _SelectedRegion) 

That way if Ontario is selected all units will be displayed as the Guid(region column) from Ontario is in all of the "HierarchyPath"

    Hi Jp_ON ,

    Do you mean all of units should display when the Name slicer select the option "Ontario"? If yes, what's the judgement logic? Could you please explain it with more details? Thank you.

    Best Regards

    absolutely, perhaps my data set was two specific.

    The expectation is that when a parent Region is selected,  the units that are assigned to that region, as well as any Child Region that has that Parents GUID in the Path would be shown.

    Based on the example Data, all units would show if Ontario was selected. If Central, Unit 4 and 5 would only show, Northern, unit 6, 7, 8 would show, Southern would show no units.

    Ontario

    ----Northern Ontario

    ----Central Ontario

    ----Southern Ontario

     

     

    let me know if you need anything further. Greatful for your assistance 🙂
