Dynamic multiple slicers

Hi everyone!

 

I'm stuck with the following matter: 

 

In my model I have 3 tables:

 

MODEL:

 

SALES:

PRODUCT_ID  VENDOR_ID  QUANTITY(€)  DATE
123AAAAA207/13/2020
221BBBBB5

07/13/2020

 

PRODUCTS:

PRODUCT_ID  CATEGORY  SUBCATEGORY  
123SPORTSFOOTBALL
221SLEEPSHOES

 

 

VENDOR: 

VENDOR_ID  SHOP_TYPE  LOCATION  
AAAAABIGITALY
BBBBBSUPERMARKETGERMANY

 

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.

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.
