Calculated Table

I need to create a dynamic table based on the input of a what if parameter. A very simple example is:

 

Column 1           Column 2

A                         1

A                         2

B                         1

B                         2

 

I want a table created/updated to be only A 1, B 1 if I select 1 and A2, B2 if I select 2 in the what if filter. Not filtering the table, the table itself must only contain the correct rows for relationship purposes.

 

Is that possible?

 

Thanks!!!

Hey,

 

unfortunately this is not possible, due the fact that "virtual" tables  - meaning not coming from Power Query, but created using a DAX table statements and used in the model pane - are part of the model, these tables exist "before" a user starts interacting with the model by using slicers and visuals.

 

Regards

Tom
