Dynamic Legend Based upon Slicer- Error Counting
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!

Anonymous Thanks for your query. Can you please provide some dummy data of your main table. Would be easier to build the calculation. Thanks !

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.
