Calculation based on filter selection

Hello Everyone,

I have a problem. I have a table like the following:

 

Location     Sales

North          10

South           11

West             9

East              15

 

I have a page filter based on the following 5 voices: Country (the sum of all 4 other voices), North, South, West, East.

Obviously if I use the filter on Country, my custom formula returns me a blank value because there aren't Country rows in my table. And I can't simply select the other 4 voices to make the total because it creates issues on other visuals.

I'd need a formula that says something like:

if the voice Country is selected in the filter, then make the sum of all rows, otherwise use the original formula.

thanks ini advance for any help!

Hi @dariog ,

 

Create a separate table by entering data

This is the measure I created

Result = 
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table (2)'[Category] ) = "Country",
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ), ALL ( 'Table' ) ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', [Location] IN ALLSELECTED ( 'Table (2)'[Category] ) )
    )
)

 

Country is selected

East and North are selected

Hi, @dariog 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your question.

I think you can try to use something like,

 

 if ( ISFILTERED(countrycolumn), sumofallrows, original formula)

 

If it is OK with you, please share your sample pbix file, then I can try to look into it to create a more accurate measure.

 

thank you.
