Anonymize names and assign Letters

[Fali324]

Hi, 

I've been stuck on the following problem and hoping someone can help me on this.

I have a data table which has the following columns:

Project Name - String

Anonymise - Boolean

Location - String

Area - Number

using a slicer, the user is able to click on the project name and then select yes or no if that name should be anonymised. 

I would like to anonymise the project name and then sort the selection according to area to assign a chronological letter.

Eg.

This is the data table

Project Name	Area
Project A	10
Project B	23
Project C	43
Project D	5
Project E	1
Project F	3
Project G	4

I have selected Project A, E , F, G for a bar chart and have selected the names are anonomised, therefore the output I'm looking for is

Is this possible?

Any advice would be much appricated.

Hi @Fali324 ,

Please try:

First create a new table:

Anonymise Name = ADDCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0,DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Project Name]),1),"Name",UNICHAR(UNICODE("A")+[Value]))

Output:

Then create a field parameter:

Add a new column to the parameter table:

Boolean = IF([Parameter Order]=0,"False","True")

Output:

Create a slicer:

Apply the measure to the column chart:

Measure = 
var _a = ADDCOLUMNS('Table',"Index",RANKX('Table',[Area],CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Area])),ASC))
var _b = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Area]),FILTER(_a,[Index]=SELECTEDVALUE('Anonymise Name'[Value])+1))
var _c = SUM('Table'[Area])
return 
IF(SELECTEDVALUE(Parameter[Boolean])="True"&&ISFILTERED(Parameter[Boolean]),_b,_c)

Final output:
