Hello all,
Currently I have a working report where I am controlling the displayed yearly data from two tables by a slicer on the page which is a year column slicer from the calendar. How I set up the report is that the user will select a single year and the data from the two tables filter on the page and it shows only the data for that year using the measure below:
Policies = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table1'[Policy Number] ), FILTER ( 'Table1', MAX ( 'Calendar'[Year] ) = 'Table1'[Policy Effective Year] ) )
Everything works great but now they want a multiple year select and I can't for the life of me figure out the measure for that. So now I want them to be able to select multple years and have the measure return the distinct count of policies for all the years selected. I imagined that the DAX would look something like this but it isn't working:
Policies = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table1'[Policy Number] ), FILTER ( 'Table1', ALLSELECTED( 'Calendar'[Year] ) IN {'Table1'[Policy Effective Year]} ) )
Any suggestions? I feel like this should be easy but its not. I can't just use a straight slicer of [Policy Effective Year] because I need that year slicer to control for both Table1 and Table2. No PBIX to share. Let me know if you have any more questions! Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I figured it out:
Policies = VAR selectedYears = VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Year] ) RETURN CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table1'[Policy Number] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table1'[Policy Effective Year] ), 'Table1'[Policy Effective Year] IN selectedYears ) )
I figured it out:
Policies = VAR selectedYears = VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Year] ) RETURN CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table1'[Policy Number] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table1'[Policy Effective Year] ), 'Table1'[Policy Effective Year] IN selectedYears ) )
