I am trying to create a depenednt drop down/ slicer in PowerBi.
Previously I have done this in excel using data validation list and offset function.
I want to create a two level depenedent slicer. With region as the first level and local area as the second.
For the example in the file if the region selected is:
Region= East Midlands
Then drop down the 9 local areas within this region?
And to do this for each of the regions once selected, allowing only one selection per region or area?
Thanks
Hi @Dermott22 ,
I doubt it's possible in one slicer. Do you consider to create two slicers?
Best Regards,
Jay
@Dermott22 , if they belong to the same table, they should automatically do that or create a hierarchy.
If they are from different tables, the take a measure from the common fact table and check that measure is not blank in visual level filter
refer if needed

Is there a way by adding measure/formula that the dropdown will only show the selected areas for the region which has been selected?
Thanks
Frances
Thank you for your prompt reply I must have done something wrong as this is not showing correctly in hierachy slicer. They are all in 1 table
