Create aggregate (AVG, MIN, MAX, SUM, ...) Slicer

[hamoso]

Hi guys,

I couldn't find the answer using the search functionality. Therefore I wanted to ask you guys if you could help me with this case.

I have created a matrix table which shows the average occupation levels for different vehicles.

I would now like to create a slicer to select whether the minimum, maximum, average or totalized occupation levels are displayed. You can do this by right-clicking in the values field (see picture below), but I would like to have a slicer in the dashboard so that a customer can also filter between the aggregates, for example.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Yours faithfully

Homoso

Hi @hamoso ,

The Table data is shown below:

Please follow these steps:

1.Create a table and enter the following data manually.

2.Use the following DAX expression to create a measure

Measure = 
VAR _a = SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Type])
VAR _b = IF(_a = "Sum",SUM('Table'[Value]),
            IF(_a = "Average",AVERAGE('Table'[Value]),
                IF(_a = "Minimum",MIN('Table'[Value]),
                    IF(_a = "Maximum",MAX('Table'[Value]),
                        IF(_a = "Count",COUNT('Table'[Value]))))))
RETURN _b

3.Final output

Hi hamoso,

Look into calculation groups. Here is a potential resource for you; they talk about using an external tool but calculation groups were recently introduced in Power BI as a native functionality I believe.

Hi @Wilson_ ,

thank you for your suggestion.  @v-zhouwen-msft 's solution was easier to implement, so I opted for this one. Nevertheless, thanks again for your suggestion.

hamoso,

No worries, calculation groups are more robust if you're looking to scale the ability to do what you're trying to do. Understandable to go a different direction if you're just trying to do it one time. Glad you got something that works for you. 😄
