Use Distinctcount measure as filter

Hi all,

I created a measure that is a distincount of a column (ie invoice number). Now I'd like to use distintcount as a filter in a dashboard.

Example: in table object I have first column that is distinctcount of invoices and second one is the customer name. So for each customer I have number of invoices sent. 

Now I'd like to have a filter field to select only customers that have less than or more than a certain number of invoices.

How to do it?

 

Thanks!

    Hi, sabinocivita 

    You can consider creating a filter measure and then applying it to the table vissual filter pane to filter data.

    visual filter =
IF (
    ISFILTERED ( 'filter field'[count] ),
    IF (
        [distinctcount of invoices] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'filter field'[count] ),
        1,
        0
    ),
    1
)

    Hi! 

    You can do it by different ways.

    You can create group table that calculate number of invoices for different customer. And then filter it.

    Also you can create new column for you table where you can calculate number of invoice for current customer.

    And then filter by customer who have number of invoices > 1.

      You can try create calc table like this:

      Calc table = SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[ClientID], "InvoiceCount", DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[InvoiceID]) )
