Conditional filtering based on existing conditions

Screenshot_20221203-075704_Bixby Voice.jpg

I have a table (table1) in a matrix visual that is linked to a second table (table2). Table2 has a category column (x) where each row is labelled as either 1 or 0. I want a separate visual (y) to be filtered based on both current filtering on page but also by an additional condition: if both x=1 and x=0 rows are visible in table1 matrix visual then filter out all values where x=1 else show all values. Please note that column x itself does not appear in the table1 matrix visual I've just included these in the examples to illustrate the issue.

 

I have tried creating a measure for this but it only works when a selection is made on the table1 visual. I would like help to be able to have a filter which works both when data is selected on the matrix visual and when nothing is selected.

Hi  @BeardedDog888 ,

 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated table.

Company =
DISTINCT('Table'[Company])

2. Create measure.

Flag =
 IF(COUNTROWS(ALL('Table'))=COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('Table')),0,1)

3. Place [Flag] in the Filter of the Company Table to 1.

4. Place the [Company] of the Table in the Filters on this page.

5. Result:

When there are 1 and 0, it is not displayed

When there is only 1, display all

Unfortunately this doesn't solve the issue as I still need to display visual when both 0 and 1 values are in the table, it is just that when this occurs only 0 values should show in the visual.
