Hello,
I really need some help with an idea I’m having.
Let's say I have a table like this:
Name_ID | Value_1 | Measure |
100 | 140.000 |
|
101 | 30.000 |
|
130 | 16.000 |
|
Total | 186.000 |
|
I also made a table for calculating percentages in a way that, if I want to pick a percentage in a slicer, then the measure calculates the name_ID value (Value_1) with Value_2.
Name_displayed_in_slicer | Value_2 |
2% | 1,02 |
5% | 1,05 |
8% | 1,08 |
I have a measure for the percentage values:
Sum_Value_2 = calculate(sum(table[Value_2]))
and then a measure that calculates (multiplies) the name_ID values (Value_1) with Value_2:
Measure = Sum_Value_2 * Value_1
So now when I pick let's say 5% in the slicer, the values (Value_1) from name_ID will multiply by 1,05 (Value_2) so I get new values that are higher for 5% in the column for measure. The measure values are as seen in the next table:
Name_ID | Value | Measure |
100 | 140.000 | 147.000 |
101 | 30.000 | 31.500 |
130 | 16.000 | 16.800 |
Total | 186.000 | 195.300 |
Now to finally get to my problem.
I would like to add a slicer that when I pick a name_ID only that value multiplies by the selected value from the first slicer and others stay the same.
So, if I pick 5% in the first slicer and the name_ID 100 from the second slicer,
the result would be as seen in the next table:
Name_ID | Value | Measure |
100 | 140.000 | 147.000 |
101 | 30.000 | 30.000 |
130 | 16.000 | 16.000 |
Total | 186.000 | 193.000 |
How do I write a DAX formula that would make this possible? And then the total value to be correct as well?
A big thank you in advance!

Hi @L_K_
This solution uses a disconnected table called Names that just contains all the Name_ID values, and that is used in the Name_ID slicer.
I have a Percentages table that looks like this, so Multiplier is the equivalent of your Value_2:
The Measure is
Measure =
VAR _Multiplier = SELECTEDVALUE(Percentages[Multiplier])
VAR _SelectedNameIDs = VALUES(Names[Name_ID])
VAR _WithMultiplier =
SUMX(
'Table',
VAR _IsSelectedName = 'Table'[Name_ID] IN (_SelectedNameIDs)
RETURN
'Table'[Value] * _Multiplier * _IsSelectedName
)
VAR _WithoutMultiplier =
SUMX(
'Table',
VAR _NotIsSelectedName = NOT('Table'[Name_ID] IN (_SelectedNameIDs))
RETURN
'Table'[Value] * _NotIsSelectedName
)
RETURN
_WithMultiplier + _WithoutMultiplier
The _IsSelectedName and _NotIsSelectedName are true/false. When you multiply by true/false DAX will treat true as 1 and false as 0. So, if the Name_ID has been selected in the slicer it will return:
Final result
Hello @PaulOlding,
It took me some time to figure this out on my real data, but I eventually got it right and it works perfectly!
Thank you so much!
