Dynamic grouping according to slicer

Hi guys!

 

I've been struggling around the generation of different groups according to the parameter that I select on a slicer with unique selection. For example, If I have this table down below:

CategoryVendorUnits
ShirtsA20
TrousersA30
ShirtsB10
TrousersB10
ShirtsC15
TrousersC20
ShirtsD5

 

If I put on the slicer the variable "Vendor", and I select the parameter "A", I would like to have a table like this:

CategoryVendorUnits
ShirtsA20
TrousersA30
ShirtsOther10
TrousersOther10
ShirtsOther15
TrousersOther20
ShirtsOther5

 

So I can have this representation:

And obviously whenever I change the parameter in the slicer, it dynamically update the grouping, so I can always compare the percentage of one vendor against the rest of them.

 

I'd really appreciate any help/guidance with this.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @AHONORESR ,

 

Is this you want?

If yes, you need create two table via UNION(VALUES('Table'[Vendor]),{"other"}), one for lengend and anoter for slicer.

 

1 values of bar chart:

 

values =
VAR _v =
    VALUES ( 'slicer'[Vendor] )
VAR _s =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Units] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            [Vendor]
                IN _v
                    && [Vendor] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'legend'[Vendor] )
        )
    )
VAR _o =
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Units] ), FILTER ( 'Table', NOT ( [Vendor] IN _v ) ) )
RETURN
    IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'legend'[Vendor] ) = "other", _o, _s )

 

 

2 filterpane:

 

filterpane =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( legend[Vendor] )
        IN VALUES ( 'slicer'[Vendor] )
            || SELECTEDVALUE ( legend[Vendor] ) = "other",
    1
)

 

 put this measure in filter pane of this column chart and set it is 1

 

 

Pbix in the end you can refer.
