Dynamic table

Hello all, 

 

I need some swarm intelligence 🙂

 

I have a table like this: 

EntityPartnerValue
AB200
AB100
AC200
BA-200
BA-100
BA500
BA-150
CB150
CA

300

 

In a Matrix Visual, I have Entity "A" via slicer selection. 

Now I want to click on the Partner "B" in this matrix, and according to this selection see in a second matrix all the posting of the Entity "B" (which is the same as Partner B) with "A" as a Partner.

First, I wanted to create a dynamic table, but this is not possible I learned. How can this be achieved?

 

Added note: I already deactivated the Interaction between the slicer and the second matrix.

 

Thanks for your help!

You cannot achieve this if you want to use the cell in matrix 1 as the filter to change matrix 2. 

 

For your requirement, you could create a distinct table for the partner column, and use it to create another slicer to be used for matrix 2. 

 

Table 2 = DISTINCT('Table'[Partner])
m2 value measure= CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),FILTER('Table',[Entity]=SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Partner])))

Hmm, ok, but how can I display all bookings of B with A, i.e. transforming the

- Partner selection B to an Entity B 

- Entity selection A to Partner A

@hashtag_pete , if both matrix or table entity and partner from the same table/s then it should filter the second table, because of interactions

Hello Amit, 

you are right, I forgot to mention this and added it now: of course I deactivated the interaction between the slicer (that goes on Entity) and the second matrix

This second matrix should display the Value of Partner in Matrix 1 as Entity and Value of Entity of Matrix 1 as Partner

 

@hashtag_pete , if you deactivate interaction you can not pass the values. Not even to a measure
