use multiple selections of 2 slicers to filter visualization table and interact with data table

I have a data table Product with 15000 rows.

columns are UnitID, UnitName, Type, SubType(2nd level), SubSubType(3rd level), Country, District, City, Used

I use a visualization table in report with two columns: UnitID, UnitName and two visualization slicers.

Slicer-1 is 3-level with Type, SubType, SubSubType and

Slicer-2 is 3-level with Country, District, City

Upon multiple selections of the 3 levels of the two slicers the visualization table has a few hundrends of rows.

I would like to use the UnitID of  these few hundrend rows filtered out to set the column named Used of the Product table to value 1 and all other to 0.

Is that possible.

Thank you in advanced for any idea.

Regards

Theo

Thanks for your clear answer.

Let me describe more clearly the second part of the problem.

I have a virtualization table that comes out after using the slicers.

Can I use this table as data table in DAX?

in other words can I somehow transfer the much less rows of the virtualization table to a data table in the model and use it as the other data tables in my dataset?

Thanks

No. You can only use it as a table variable inside a measure.  But at the end of the measure calculations you need to end up with a scalar value.

Filters cannot influence columns. They can only influence measures.  What you want to do is not possible.
