Compare values based on two slicer selections - using only the locations where both selections match

I have one table. Would like to select two products from the table to compare some results (yield, profit, etc.), but only want the results for locations that have both products.    1. How to add s...

Hi dsynan,

 

Suppose your source table is like:

 

Please create two extra tables which are unrelated to source table. Later, you should drag fields (Slicer1[Product] and Slicer2[Product]) from these two tables into two separate slicers.

Slicer1 = VALUES(Product_sales[Product]) 
Slicer2 = VALUES(Product_sales[Product])

 

Create below measures:

Sum product for slicer1 =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Product_sales[Sales] ),
    FILTER (
        Product_sales,
        Product_sales[Product] = LASTNONBLANK ( Slicer1[Product], 1 )
    )
)

Sum product for slicer2 =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Product_sales[Sales] ),
    FILTER (
        Product_sales,
        Product_sales[Product] = LASTNONBLANK ( Slicer2[Product], 1 )
    )
)

Isblank for slicer1 = IF([Sum product for slicer1]=BLANK(),0,1) 
Isblank for slicer2 = IF([Sum product for slicer2]=BLANK(),0,1) 

Add [Sum product for slicer1] and [Sum product for slicer1] to table visual. Add [Isblank for slicer1], [Isblank for slicer2] to "visual level filters", set their values to 1. 

 

Best regards,

Yuliana Gu

Hi v-yulgu-msft, 
I was working on a very similar problem. Just needed to ask if there is any alternative to LastNonBlank() ? Using LastNonBlank results in a difference in values when slicer is set to All. 
I have another table which I am using to compare the results and there are some Products against which the Sum is different in this comparison method. 
Any help would be highly appreciated.
