Custom column based on slicer values
Hello, I'm new to PowerBI and hope someone can help me with this elementary issue. I have two tables: Users and Computers with a 1:N relationship. Computers table contains a "Purpose" column....

The selections in the slicer doesn't affect a calculated column. As with calculated table, it gets updated only when:
- The related tables are refreshed
- Upon creation
- When the formula is updated.
Instead of calculated column use a measure.
PC Count = CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Computers ), FILTER ( Computers, Computers[PC_Purpose] IN VALUES ( PCPurpose[PC Purpose] ) ) )The measure above will return the same result whether there is a relationship or not between PCPurpose and Computers tables. If there is an existing relationship, you cause simply COUNTROWS the Computers table.
