Create a table to include measures

Hello everyone,

I have 7 measures and I want to visualize them in a bar chart . X-axis is the measure name (sorted from "0%", "<5%", "5%-10%" etc.), Y-axis is the caulcated value of each measure. 

So I created a table using below DAX, bold red is each individual measure

MeasurementTable =
UNION(
ROW("cat",">50%", "count_vin",[>50%],"groupid",1),
ROW("cat","30%-40%", "count_vin", [30%-40%],"groupid",2),
ROW("cat","20%-30%", "count_vin",[20%-30%],"groupid",3),
ROW("cat","10%-20%", "count_vin",[10%-20%],"groupid",4),
ROW("cat","5%-10%", "count_vin",[5%-10%],"groupid",5),
ROW("cat","<5%", "count_vin",[<5%],"groupid",6),
ROW("cat","0%", "count_vin",[0%],"groupid",7)
)

 

However, as you can see in below picuture, the value of each measure in this MeasureTable is different from individual measure. And it seems in MeasureTable, all filters are not applied at all. 

 

Can anyone help explain why and a possible solution?

    zxl1031 , In the second table filter will not apply. As New table will not tabke slicer value.

     

    Instead of so many measures try to use the approch of dynamic segmentation

    Create an independent table, With ranges , create new measures with a row context.

    Hi zxl1031,

    Current power bi does not support create dynamic calculated tables/columns based on filters or slicers. Please write measure expressions and use them with category to instead.

    Category =
UNION (
    ROW ( "cat", ">50%", "groupid", 1 ),
    ROW ( "cat", "30%-40%", "groupid", 2 ),
    ROW ( "cat", "20%-30%", "groupid", 3 ),
    ROW ( "cat", "10%-20%", "groupid", 4 ),
    ROW ( "cat", "5%-10%", "groupid", 5 ),
    ROW ( "cat", "<5%", "groupid", 6 ),
    ROW ( "cat", "0%", "groupid", 7 )
)

    Measure =
VAR selection =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Category[cat] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        selection,
        ">50%", [>50%],
        "30%-40%", [30%-40%],
        "20%-30%", [20%-30%],
        "10%-20%", [10%-20%],
        "5%-10%", [5%-10%],
        "<5%", [<5%],
        "0%", [0%]
    )

    Notice: the data level of power bi.
    Database(external) -> query table(query, custom function, query parameters) -> data model table(table, calculate column/table) -> data view with virtual tables(measure, visual, filter, slicer)

    Regards,
