Column selection based on Filter

[Farwest]

Dear Power BI community,

I am having a hard time setting a dynamic filter on a report.

I am trying to use a filter in order to set a measure, it is a single selection filter.

Selected = if(HASONEVALUE('Table['Name]);SELECTEDVALUE('Table[Name]);"ALL")

I am getting the selected filter through this and using switch to select a column based on the selection

SWITCH([Selected];"ALL";MAX(Table[Name1]);MAX(Table[Name2]))

I would like to use a column if nothing is selected (Table[Name1]) and the other column (Table[Name2]) for any single selection filter.

I tried as well with the following measures

Selected = COUNTROWS(FILTERS('Table['Name])) this is to get how many filters are selected in the visual

I am then setting this condition using the above measure

IF ([Selected] > 1 ; MAX(Table[Name1]) ; MAX('Table'[Name2]))

Both are always returing the same column regardless of the condition.

Appreciate your help

Even i'm having a similar requirement ..

Whenver user select single value from slicer in a dynamic table then we should filter out null records but whenever use select more than 1 column then display all values in every columns (no need to filter out.) Any idea how to achieve this ?

I think measure selection you can do like -https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Slicer-MTD-QTD-YTD-to-filter-dates-using-the-slicer/td-p/50...

For axis/column , you might have to use bookmarks as of now

Thanks @amitchandak 

This actually works better, but I still have a problem.

IF(HASONEFILTER('Table' [Name]);

SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Table' [Name]);

"Selected"; MAXX('Table' [Name 1]);

MAXX('Table' [Name 2])

);

MAXX('Table' [Name 2])

)

This works when I define the selected Filter Value "Selected", but I am trying  to:

if only one filter is selected then get 'Table' [Name 1] otherwise (all selected) get 'Table' [Name 2]  (this is a single filter selection anyway)

@Farwest ,

Try like

IF(isfiltered('Table' [Name]) && HASONEFILTER('Table' [Name]);
SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Table' [Name]);
"Selected"; MAXX('Table' [Name 1]);
MAXX('Table' [Name 2])
);
MAXX('Table' [Name 2])
)

Tried out as well but not really reaching the expected result.

I am adding more details to better exlain the case, the result I have today is a bit different.

When no filter is selected group 3 is still showing Name 1 table where it should be Name 2 as per the DAX on previous post.

Every time one group is filtered I would liket o get Table[Name 1]

Every time no filter is selected I would like to get Table [Name 2]

I have hundreds of groups so I don't want to enter them one by on in the SWITCH like SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Table' [Name]);
"Group 1"; ...."Group 2";...

Hi @Farwest ,

Please try to complete the following steps to achieve your requirement:

1. Create one dimension table for name field(Group 1,Group 2,Group 3 etc. )

Create table Groups

2. Create the relationship between two tables using field "Group" in Groups table and "Name" field in Table

Create relationship between dimension and fact table

3. Create a measure and drag the related fields onto the visual as below screen shot

Measure = IF(ISFILTERED('Groups'[Group]),MAX('Table'[Name 2]),MAX('Table'[Name 1]))

Create measure and table visual

Best Regards
