Hi,
I have a visual where I want the user to select either the Requesting Side or Receiving Side and then be able to get a count of the items.
I have a table that has all of the exhaustive list of requesting and receiving VS/SS and basically I want the chart to update with what I select and have the correct count.
My problem is that the below measure is saying that it can't convert the VS/SS A to be a true false and I am getting an error on the count.
| Attribute | VS/SS |
| Requesting Side | A |
| Requesting Side | A |
| Requesting Side | A |
| Requesting Side | A |
| Requesting Side | A |
| Receiving Side | B |
| Receiving Side | B |
| Receiving Side | B |
| Receiving Side | B |
| Receiving Side | B |
I created a measure

| Issue | Requesting | Receiving |
| 1 | A | B |
| 2 | A | B |
| 3 | C | A |
| 4 | D | A |
| 5 | C | D |
| 6 | B | C |
| 7 | D | A |
| 8 | B | C |
| 9 | D | A |
Basically I want to be able to filter on either receiving or requesting side and show the Attrbiute
Example show me receiving and pick Attribute A and get the copy of B, C, D, etc. I am getting an error that the text can't be converted to true/false. If you don't mind sharing the PBIX file, that would be great.
Thanks!
Can you attach your file? There is something that I am missing.
@Anonymous Thanks for providing the sample data.
Here is my solution:
Steps:
1. Unpivot the main data table for the Receiving and Requesting column. The table should look like this after Unpivot:
2. Create the relationship between the two tables. The data model should look like this.
3. Create a measure for Unique Count:
Unique Count =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Issue Table'[Value] ),
'Issue Table'[Value] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Issue Table'[Value] )
)
4. Create a slicer and chart in the Report. The visual should look like this:
Hope this helps.

** If you liked my solution, please give it a thumbs up. And if I did answer your question, please mark this post as a solution, so that it comes in top of the search and help others. Thank you ! Good Luck 👍 |
Thanks. I am assuming that your attribute table literally has two rows, 1 receiving and 1 requesting? Otherwise you have a many to many relationship.
@Anonymous Thanks for your query. Can you please provide some dummy data of your main table. Would be easier to build the calculation. Thanks !
