Problem:
I am trying to calculate a column based on the multiple selections in one slicer. There are many slicers on page.
Project:
Report Page 1:
I allow users to select from a slicer a list of emails. Column name is 'Email'[(c) Name]
Report Page 2:
Displays selected emails in a table showing the various metrics associated. On this page there is a button that allows user to run comparisons on the selected data. When clicked user is brough to report page 3.
Report Page 3:
Provides three slicer multi select boxes that have the emails the users selected on Page 1. The purpose of these page is to now allow users to create groups from their original selections. They can create up to three groups by making selections in each slicer box. Each slicer box refers to a custom column in the Email table.
Column names
(c) Comparision Group 1 = (c) Name
(c) Comparison Group 2 = (c) Name
(c) Comparison Group 3 = (c) Name
Users build their groups in each of the three slicers and click the next button.
Report Page 4:
THERE IS WHERE I AM HITTING AN ISSUE. I want to create measures that caculate the totals from each of the three selections.
I have tried REMOVEFILTERS, ALLEXCEPT and nothing is working. Just want to be able to calculate the sum of metrics like 'Email'[clicks] from what was selected in Comparison Group 1 & Comparison Group 2 & Comparison Group 3.

I would still like to know if there is a way to solve this with the columns I created but I was able to solve by creating three references to the table removing all unnecessary columns in those tables and then setting up proper relationships. In doing this I was able to use removefilters effectively to caculate the sum of metrics by each groups selections.
Hi ewkcoder ,
I'm sorry, but by your description, I'm not quite sure what your dilemma is and what the desired outcome is.
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.
Best Regards,

Adding more description to what I am looking to accomplish.
#1) Allow users to pick from a list of data.
#2) Display data on a table for basic comparison.
#3) Allow the user to click a button to another report page that preserves their original selections and displays all of their selections in three different multi select slicers. Users can now create groups of the original records they selected for comparison against one another.
#4) User clicks next button and on this page I want to compare the groups against eachother.
To accomplish this I created three clones of the column being used to fill each slicer. From here I want to now write measures where I can isolate the records selected in each of the slicers.
