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 |
| 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.

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.
