Hi,
I have a fact table which contais a category variable with possible values as below
- Basic
- Inter
- Advanced
- Misc
User wants a filter to say wether to Include OR Exclude the "Misc" category in the report.
The visual should be through a filter with two options Include and Exclude (Through standard slicer or through chiclet slicer).
Easier option is to include all the 4 values and ask the user to select all OR exclude MISC option only. But looking for a simple interface where user can do this with one click option.
Hi @natg,
If I understand you correctly, you can firstly add a filter with two options Include and Exclude on your report, then try using the formula below to create a measure to calculate values to Include OR Exclude the "Misc" category.
Measure = IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Table1[Option] ), IF ( VALUES ( Table1[Option] ) = "Exclude", CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table2[Value] ), FILTER ( ALL ( Table2 ), Table2[Category ] <> "Misc" ) ), SUM ( Table2[Value] ) ), SUM ( Table2[Value] ) )
Regards
Thnaks for the solution workaround @v-ljerr-msft
Will try this and revert back.
Since this filter is kind of a global filter to be applied to 20+ metrices shown in the dashboard, thinking of implementing through joins with additional views in the model so that the existing calculations remain that way.
Is my understaning correct that I need to use the condional logic in all the measures that are impacted by the filter on category column.

Yes, that's correct.

It seems to be a better solution.
