Comparison visuals using a single slicer.

Hi,


I have a comparison report that is currently fetching data from two tables named "Sheet 1" and "Sheet 2." The report is divided into two parts, each with a slicer from a different column of the respective table.

Sheet 1 

LinkInstituteType
1OpenLine
2CloseCircle
3RightOval
4LeftLine
5StraightCircle
6BackOval

 

the other table has the following data:

Sheet 2

Name LinkDrink(1 or 0)
H R11
A R20
N R31
M R40
C R51
Q R 60
T R F R 61
Y R50
L K 40
N R30
M R21


The dashboard is as follows:

I want to remove the type slicer and have only the institute slicer. Therefore, when an institute value is selected, the corresponding type value should be automatically chosen. However, the sum of drinks for the identified type should consider all types in Sheet2, not just the selected institute.


The following measure was used to calculate the sum:


Test =
VAR SelectedInstitute = SELECTEDVALUE('Sheet2'[Institute])
VAR AffiliatedLinks =
    CALCULATETABLE(
        VALUES('Sheet2'[Link]),
        'Sheet2'[Institute] = SelectedInstitute
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Sheet1'[Drink(1 or 0)]),
        'Sheet1'[Link] IN AffiliatedLinks
    )



When I restore the secondary slicer, the visuals start working perfectly fine.

Is there a method for the primary slicer to be the only slicer, with the visuals working fine with them? 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Hassan_346 ,

    You can follow the steps below to get it, please check if that is what you want.

    1. Do not create any relationship between 'Sheet1' and 'Sheet2'

    2. Create a measure as below

    Sum of drink = 
VAR _selinstitutes =
    ALLSELECTED ( 'Sheet1'[Institute] )
VAR _types =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Sheet1'[Type] ),
        FILTER ( 'Sheet1', 'Sheet1'[Institute] IN _selinstitutes )
    )
VAR _links =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Sheet1'[Link] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Sheet1' ), 'Sheet1'[Type] IN _types )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Sheet2'[Drink(1 or 0)] ),
        FILTER ( 'Sheet2', 'Sheet2'[Link] IN _links )
    )

    Best Regards

    Hi Hassan_346 ,

    According to your description, it seems that the returned result is not correct when apply the slicer(s). Are the fields which applied on the slicers from different tables or the same table? If they are from different tables, is there any relationship created between the tables? Could you please provide more raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format, the created visuals and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following links to share the required info:

    And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
