Filter drop down using AND function

Hi all, 

 

When using the slicer filter (displayed as drop-down), I would like it to use an AND function when selected multiple items. 

Basically, I want to be able to filter patients based on the comorbidities they have. So when I select 2 or more items in the comorbidity drop down list, I want the report to show the characteristics of the patients that have both/all comorbidities, and not only one of them (OR function; as it works now). Is there any way to do this? 

Thanks!

Hi @im_92 ,

 

The default behaviour of the slicer in Power BI is that it shows the result of OR when you select multiple items. If you want to having AND condition using a slicer in Power BI you should use measure to control it.

 

Here is a good article for your reference: https://radacad.com/slicer-with-and-condition-in-power-bi and if you want the  exact formula, please show your sample data.

@im_92 , Creat a measure like

measure =
var _max = countx(allselcted(Table,table[comorbidities]))
return
countx(filter(summarize(Table, Table[patients], "_1",distinctcount(table[comorbidities])),[_1]=_max),[patients])

If you go to the formatting options for your slicer and go into selection controls,  turn single select off and multi-select with CTRL off and turn Show "select all" on.
