Filter just values in the column and not the row context

[awitt1Temp]

I'm trying to filter a table based on a designation of if the sales were core sales or not by item. The item designation changes based on the date it was ordered so Item2 could be a Core item or Closeout based on when it was ordered. As a result I have two different sales measures, Sales1 and Sales2 for different date tables, and then two different designation measures, Designation1 and Designation2 based on the the different date tables as well. 

I'm trying to create the table at the bottom of the example here where filtering on Designation2 doesn't filter the entire row for that item. Thanks!

Best option would be to unpivot your data to bring it into a usable format.

Second best option is to add a column  that checks if Designation1 or Designation2 is "Core". Then filter by that column.

Unfortunately I'm Direct-Querying into this data so custom columns and unpivoting the data is not in the cards. 

[lbendlin]

Custom columns are supported in Direct Query mode.  They are expensive, but they are supported.

Yeah I have it but my data set is over 1,000,000 records and so I get an error saying I've maxed out the number of records allowed to review.
