Hi everyone!
I'm stuck with the following matter:
In my model I have 3 tables:
MODEL:
SALES:
| PRODUCT_ID | VENDOR_ID | QUANTITY(€) | DATE |
| 123 | AAAAA | 2 | 07/13/2020 |
| 221 | BBBBB | 5 | 07/13/2020 |
PRODUCTS:
| PRODUCT_ID | CATEGORY | SUBCATEGORY |
| 123 | SPORTS | FOOTBALL |
| 221 | SLEEP | SHOES |
VENDOR:
| VENDOR_ID | SHOP_TYPE | LOCATION |
| AAAAA | BIG | ITALY |
| BBBBB | SUPERMARKET | GERMANY |
These tables (vendor and products) are connected by ID to sales table.
WHAT I WANT TO DO?
I would like to have in the report, two slicers.
1) To select the "vision" that you want: Product or vendor. (Select slicer in the picture)
2) Select details, i.e: Product selected, and the category of the product. (PRODUCT slicer in the picture)
Example:
If I change to vendor, it should change insted of showing products (sleep and sports) I should be able to select "SHOP_TYPE"
Many thanks for your help! 🙂

Hi @Anonymous ,
Create a table with both tables you need:
Type Value
| Product | Sports |
| Product | Sleep |
| Vendor | AAAAA |
| Vendor | BBBBB |
Now do the following measure:
Sum Sales =
VAR SelectedType =
SELECTEDVALUES ( Slicer[Type] )
VAR Selected_Value =
VALUES ( Slicer[Value] )
RETURN
SWITCH (
SelectedType ;
"Vendor"; CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[QUANTITY(€) ] ); Vendors[VENDOR_ID ] IN Selected_Value);
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[QUANTITY(€) ] ); Products[CATEGORY ] IN Selected_Value)
)
Now use the measure as your values on the charts as you can see in attach file altough I am selecting on products and vendor one of the visualizations is made on subcategory.

Measure slicer
@Anonymous - See if this helps: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Dynamic-EVERYTHING-measures-axis-legend-titles-chart-types/m-p/1027881#M444
Thanks for your answer, the link is great, but it's only working with one table and applying filters to it. In my case, I have multiple tables, and PowerBI should show info from one table or other.
@Anonymous - One thought on this, use buttons instead of slicers for your "vision". Then you could leverage stacked visuals and bookmarks.
