Hello everyone, thank you for your attention,
I've been facing a big pain point on my report recently,
I'm trying to achieve something i would name like "Dynamic masking"
I'm on a matrix visual and wants to hide information via two criterias :
-If the number is <5, display NA
-If there is only one row with <5 in the entire column. Assign the value NA to the second littlest value
The objective is to not be able to find the number behind the value <5 by substracting the other values to the total.
The scenario :
Having a matrix visual like this
| Year 1 | |
| Versicolor | 10 |
| Virginical | 7 |
| Viridis | 4 |
| Total | 21 |
I want the matrix visual to look like this
| Year 1 | |
| Versicolor | 10 |
| Virginical | NA |
| Viridis | NA |
| Total | 21 |
I tried using this code but didn't achieve what i wanted to do
Nombre de présents anonymisé =
VAR Total1 = SUM(eTauxReussite[txRssPresents])
VAR Total2 = SUM(eTauxReussite[txRssAdmis])
VAR Count_LessThan5 =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED(eTauxReussite),
Total1< 5
)
)
VAR IsSingleLessThan5 = Count_LessThan5 = 1
VAR RowRank =
RANKX(
ALLSELECTED(eTauxReussite),
Total1, , ASC
)
VAR ExtraMaskedRow = RowRank = 2
RETURN
IF(
Total1 < 5 &&Total1<>0 || (IsSingleLessThan5 && ExtraMaskedRow)|| Total2<5 && Total2<>0,
"NA",
Total1
)
Thank you in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello, @NathanD
try this (it's prolly overengineered, but have a shot):
measure =
var _total = SUMX(ALL('Table'[value]), 'Table'[value])
var _value = SUM('Table'[value])
var lessThan5 = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[value] < 5))
var lowest = MINX(FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[value] < 5), 'Table'[value])
var secondLowest = MINX(FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[value] > lowest), 'Table'[value])
var _twoMore = IF(_value = lowest, "NA", _value)
var _single = IF( _value = lowest || _value = secondLowest, "NA", _value)
var _check =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
lessThan5 = 1 || ISBLANK(lessThan5) , _single,
lessThan5 >= 2 || ISBLANK(lessThan5), _twoMore,
NOT(HASONEVALUE('Table'[name])), _total,
_value
)
return _check

Thanks for your answer, i've asked the question poorly and your solution seems right in the environment i provided.
I'll do make another post to ask the question more deeply
