Filter on Subtotals values

[moatazbelah]

I'm trying to filter on the subtotals value. But the filter happens on the actual values. So in the pictures below, I'm trying to filter on 88555. But when I put that in the filter, I don't get anything. And when I put 8000 in the filter which is value, not the total, it worked. But I want to filet on the subtotal, not the value.

Hi @moatazbelah ,

Power BI doesn't support us to filter Subtotal in Filter Field directly. As you test, we could only filter actual value by Filter Field. If you want to use Subtotal as a category and filter it, I suggest you to create an unrelated Slicer table, then create a measure and add this measure in visual level filter.

My Sample:

Subtotal Table:

Subtotal = GENERATESERIES(1, SUM('Table'[Total]))

Measure:

Filter Subtotal = 
VAR _Subtotal =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Total] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Order Number] )
    )
VAR _SELECTVALUE =
    MAX ( Subtotal[Value] )
RETURN
    IF ( ISFILTERED ( Subtotal[Value] ), IF ( _Subtotal = _SELECTVALUE, 1, 0 ), 1 )

Add this measure into visual level filter in matrix visual and set it to show items when value =1.

Result is as below.

@moatazbelah -> for filtering the subtotal, you need to put the subtotal field/measure etc in your filters pane. Only then it will filter. It is not really possible to filter it with a value. 

You can filter it on a categorical variable like in your case it is order_id

@moatazbelah i am not quite clear about what your ask is. Could you please tell your requirement? 

Also, putting a filter on total value = 88555 is kind of a hard coding. 

So it would be great if you could share your exact requirement for a better solution

@truptis Hi Truptis, what I'm trying to do is to filter on 88555. But it doesn't work, because it's subtotal. So is there a way that I can filter on subtotal?
