Dynamic Column Change based on selection

Hi Experts,

 

I am working on matrix table it should display columns based on selection in slicer.

 

For Eg:-  

Graphical Representation: -

 

Dynamic Matrix column view.png

 

In the above two diagrams, assume left visual is matrix table and right visual is slicer.

Based on the selection in the slicer in the first diagram it displays the columns in the matrix table.

And based on the selection in the slicer in the second diagram it displays the columns in the matrix table.

So whenever I select and deselect column in the slicer, dynamically columns should display in the matrix table.

 

I hope that my requirment is understood. If anyone have solution please reply me back.

 

Thanks in Advance

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

I think it is normal. If you put a value in 'Value', it will show a list of value for each 'Attribute'. As a workaround, you may create a measure like below. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Result = 
IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE(New[Attribute]) in {"Category","Drawer","Header A","Header B"},
    MAX(New[Value.1]),
    SELECTEDVALUE(New[Value])
)

 

Result:

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Table:

In order not to affect the raw data, you may duplicate the 'Table', make 'Category', 'Drawer', 'Header A', 'Header B' selected, click 'unpivot columns' in 'Transform' ribbon and then 'Close and Apply'.

Finally you need to create a matrix visual with columns from 'New' table and use 'Attribute' column from 'New' table to filter the result.

When I drag the Value inside values space in matrix it shows for every column.

Value field always should display at last as total.  Only one column.
