Creating a measure as a page filter

[JRowe]

I have dataset with various columns, each row for a different person. Each person has a unique ID, which is listed in the table under the column ID. Each person also has a TeamID in a different column which isn't unique (because there can be many people per team).

I want to add a filter to the whole PowerBI report that only shows data where the count of TeamID >49. So for every tile and chart it will only include data relating to those teams with 50 or more members.

I created a measure to count the number of records per team that I was hoping to add to the page filter and then to use advanced filtering to select only where the count was >49. The PowerBI report won't allow me to add this measure (shown below) to the page filters though. I can add it to a visual but only where the measure is  already present in that visual.

Measure= COUNTX(Table,Table[TeamID])

Is there a way of creating a filter that I can use for the whole page?

Hi @JRowe ,

As far as I know, Power BI doesn't support us to add a measure into page level filter or all page level filter. Power BI only support us to add the measure into visual level filter. So I suggest you to create a calculated column and add it into page level filter.

Count of TeamID = COUNTAX(FILTER('Table','Table'[TeamID]=EARLIER('Table'[TeamID])),'Table'[TeamID])

Add this calculated column into page level filter and show items when the value is greater than 49.

Hi Rico, I think that would work although I have to use a direct query due to the size of the databases I'm using. Therefore I get the error message "Function 'COUNTAX' is not allowed as part of calculated column DAX expressions on DirectQuery models." Not sure if there is a way around the problem on Direct queries?

@JRowe , Just thinking loud here.

You have to do dynamic segmentation. Create measure based on that as use that in visual level filter or add visual .

And this segmentation table use in filter at page level
