Hello,
I have a table like this:
Department Product Category
Sports AA 00001
Education BB 00002
Health AB 00003
Sports AA 00004
Health BB 00005
I need a slicer for Product that will act as both direct and inverse slicer.
Eg:- If I select Product 'BB' in slicer -> It should display 2 tables.
1st : Department and Category that HAS product BB
2nd : Department and Category that DOES NOT HAVE product BB
Is there a way to acheive this?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Right, so create a disconnected table like this:
Table6 = ALL('Table5'[Product])
Use this for your slicer. Then, create these two measures and use them in your tables.
Normal Measure =
VAR __dept = MAX([Department])
VAR __product = MAX('Table6'[Product])
VAR __table1 = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(ALL('Table5'),[Product] = __product),"__dept",[Department])
RETURN
IF(__dept IN __table1,1,BLANK())
Inverse Measure =
VAR __dept = MAX([Department])
VAR __product = MAX('Table6'[Product])
VAR __table1 = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(ALL('Table5'),[Product] = __product),"__dept",[Department])
RETURN
IF(__dept IN __table1,BLANK(),1)
See Table5, Table6 and Page 3 of attached.
I created an Inverse Slicer Measure once...

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your response.
I had a look at this before, it calculates the SUM.
But, I want to display the contents of the table based on the filter.

Greg,
It's working perfectly.
Thank you so much....
I think I'll submit this as a new Quick Measure!
