Filter data using slicer (1 table to another)

[justinMcC]

Hi 

I have a report that I need the end user to be able to categorise a 'holding' on my 'holdings table' as either beef or dairy based on a percent using a visual filter, eg slicer. The filter is based of a percentage, ie, if the holding has 'PERCENT_DAIRY'>= x then categorise these holdings as 'Dairy', else categorise as beef

Below is the sample data:

HOLDINGID     PERCENT_DAIRY   

Holding_1        60

Holding_2        80

Holding_3        40

Holding_4        20

Holding_5        90

Holding_6        94

If the end user uses a filter, eg slicer to say that any holding with 'PERCENT_DAIRY' IS >= 80 then 'dairy' else 'beef'

END RESULT:

HOLDINGID     PERCENT_DAIRY  CATEGORY 

Holding_1        60                        BEEF

Holding_2        80                        DAIRY

Holding_3        40                        BEEF

Holding_4        20                        BEEF

Holding_5        90                        DAIRY

Holding_6        94                        DAIRY

I have the 'holding' table with holding data (see above) and a 'percent' table showing values 1 - 100

My question is how do I create a custom category (ie, dairy, beef) based on the percent choosen by the end user 

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi @justinMcC,

Create 2 Measures to achieve this ac below.

Measure 1:

Calculate Dairy % = CALCULATE(SUMX(your_table_name, your_table_name[PERCENT_DAIRY]),ALLEXCEPT(your_table_name, your_table_name[HOLDINGID]))

Measure 2:

Category = IF([Calculate Dairy %] >= 80, "DAIRY","BEEF")

Please give a kudo and Accept the soultion if it works for you.

Thanks,

Hi @mehaboob557

Thanks for all your help, your solution worked

The next step I have however is to create a chart from the results, ie Beef = 4, Dairy = 4, however I cant use a measure is a chart

Do you know how to turn a measure into a column?

Again thank you for the above, your help was much appreciated
