Hi,
I have a problem with filtering in such a scenario:
I have materials to be produced. Each material has its own MaterialID. Production of a material requires at least one recipe. Each recipe uses certain number of resources.
Each row in my table Production stores information about produced material, recipe and used resources. If there's 3 recipes to produce one material, there will be 3 rows in my table. Table Resources stores all available resources.
By clicking on first visual, I select produced material by its ID. The visual below shows recipes that belong to this MaterialID.
I've made a measure Filter Only Resources From Recipe that filters out resources for selected recipe in the third visual. What I want to achieve now is to show all the resources that are used to produce selected MaterialID, not only for one recipe. How to do it?
BTW: Is that any better way then what I've made in my measure to filter resources?
Here's my pbix : Link
Thanks,
Joanna
Hi @Kohrinn
By unpivoting the Production table and creating a couple of dimension tables and indexes, I did it with no measures.
@Kohrinn you can do something like this
Measure = CONCATENATEX(Production,Production[Recipes]&"-"&Production[UsedResource01]&","&Production[UsedResource02]&","&Production[UsedResource03]," || ",Production[Recipes],ASC)
Thank you, but it's not what I meant.
This is what's in my table:
So I know that in order to produce 111 I need A,J,K,C,D,G,H,I. So when I click on my visual with MaterialID and Iwant to have resources filtered like that:
@Kohrinn you can use this a filter
Measure =
MAXX (
NATURALINNERJOIN (
SUMMARIZE (
ADDCOLUMNS (
FILTER (
UNION (
SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Production', 'Production'[UsedResource01] ),
SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Production', 'Production'[UsedResource02] ),
SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Production', 'Production'[UsedResource03] )
),
'Production'[UsedResource01] <> BLANK ()
),
"col", [UsedResource01]
),
[col]
),
SUMMARIZE (
SELECTCOLUMNS ( { MAX ( Resources[ResourceID] ) }, "col", [Value] ),
[col]
)
),
[col]
)
