Dynamically change the Matrix filter

Hi all,

I have a PBIX with 2 entities: Sales and Calendar, and there exists an N-1 relationship between these entities. Moreover, the Sales entity has 2 measures, M1 and M2. On a PBIX page, I would like to define a slicer and a matrix in such a way that the slicer allows selecting the measure (M1 or M2) to show in the matrix.

Here is my issue:

The matrix has a row for each year of the Calendar entity, and when selecting M1, I would like to filter the matrix dynamically, keeping only the current year (i.e., the matrix will have only one row). Hence, I want to apply a filter on the matrix visual.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

@GiuseppeMR first and foremost you need to make some changes to M1. here I have create M1 New that uses the M1 but you can put this logic directly in M1

 

M1 New = 
VAR __CurrentYear = YEAR ( TODAY () )
RETURN
CALCULATE ( 
   [M1],
   KEEPFILTERS ( 'Calendar'[Year] = __CurrentYear] ) 
)

 

 

For the selection, you can use a field parameter or calculation groups.
