Dynamic column based on slicer selection

Hi 

I have a list of company names and their blinded company names as below.

If i put the name in slicer and selected a value(let it be "ABC").
The output in the column should be

Please help me to create a dynamic column that changes based on slicer selction.

Thanks,
Mahesh R

Hi @Anonymous ,

Calculated columns are calculated only ONCE, AT REFRESH.  They do not change in response to measures, or slicer selections.

The only way  just as @Jihwan_Kim  mentioned.

This method can achieve the results you expect, but it does have the disadvantage of not being able to select multiple values.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You could use the following measure:

Output =
VAR test1 =
    CONCATENATEX ( VALUES ( 'Slicer'[name] ), [Name], "," )
VAR test3 =
    MAX ( 'Table'[Name] )
VAR test2 =
    SEARCH ( test3, test1,, 0 )
VAR test4 =
    IF ( test2 > 0, MAX ( 'Table'[Name] ), MAX ( 'Table'[Blinden Name] ) )
RETURN
    test4

 

Final get the below:

If you choose one value:

If you choose multiple  values:

Hi, @Anonymous 

I am not sure whether I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the sample pbix file.

I hid the very first column on the left side of the table visualization (red color area), and tried to only show the Outcome Column on the visualization.

Output =
VAR selectedname =
ALLSELECTED ( 'Company Names'[Name] )
RETURN
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( 'Company Names'[Name] ),
IF (
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Blinded Names'[Name] ) IN selectedname,
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Blinded Names'[Name] ),
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Blinded Names'[Blinded Name] )
),
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Blinded Names'[Blinded Name] )
)

Hi @Jihwan_Kim 

The Output is coming as expectd only but the issue is I need a column with this similar functionality.
So that i can use that conditional colum in the column of the stacket chart.

Hi, @Anonymous 

Thank you for your feedback.

At this moment, the only way that I can think of is to create a new table like below.

Please check the below picture and the sample pbix file's link down below.

 

Picture3.png

 

I created a new table in two steps.

 

New Table =
CROSSJOIN (
VALUES ( 'Blinded Names'[Name] ),
VALUES ( 'Blinded Names'[Blinded Name] )
)
 
 
New Column =
IF (
LOOKUPVALUE (
'Blinded Names'[Blinded Name],
'Blinded Names'[Name], 'New Table'[Name]
) = 'New Table'[Blinded Name],
'New Table'[Name],
'New Table'[Blinded Name]
)
