Dynamic Dimension based on Selected Slicer.

Hi,

I had one field which has two category values and I split them by custum method. Example below

Old Field                    New Field (Fruits)                    New Field(Vegetables)

Apple                           Apple                                        Brinjal

Orange                        Orange                                      Tommoto

Brinjal

Tommoto

 

Here my question is I need bar chart with single Dimenstion.

If I select fruits, it should show frutis as Dimenstion.  or    If I select Vegetables it should show Vegetalbles as Dimenstion.

 

My tried below Dax but it is not working.

New_Dim =   if(SelectedValue(New Field(Vegetables))>0, New Field(Vegetables), New Field (Fruits) )

Hi  @Anonymous  ,

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

Measure = 
if(SelectedValue('Table'[New Field(Vegetables)])<>BLANK(), MAX('Table'[New Field(Vegetables)]), MAX('Table'[New Field(Fruits)]) )

2. Place [New Field(Vegetables)] in the slice, and place [Old Field] in the table

3. Result:

When a null value is selected, [New Field(Fruits)] is displayed:

When the field in [New Field(Vegetables)] is selected, the corresponding data is displayed

@Anonymous , I think a better idea would be a having a column and use that as filter

Type = if([col] in {"Apple","Orange"} , "Fruits","Vegetables")

Hi, 

Thanks for the reply so far, I see that slicers are working as expected but now in chart I see the values (Fruits & Vegetables).   I only wanted to see default by fruits. Else On select Vegetable Slicer should show Vegetable categories as dimenstions. 

 

Please help me on this. Thanks!
