Hello ,
I have a question on applying filter based on Slicer selection. I am using direct connection to connect a database.
Q : we have Slicer Table as an example which will display in power BI Slicer.
Slicer Header
--------------
Status 1
Status 2
Status 3
And I have a main data table with actual dimentions and measures . I am displying this data in a table and Column chart is Power BI.
ID Quantity Status1 Status2 Status3
100 12.2 Y N N
101 9.6 N Y Y
102 10.3 N Y N
104 19 N N N
105 18 Y Y N
If Slicer selection is "Status 1" I want to apply filter as Sttaus1=Y, elseif "Staus2" then Status2=N,elsefif "Status 3" then Status3="Y"
And I have to use this filter on Table and Bar chart visuals . I cannot create any relation between these two tables .
Can you post solution if we have any in Power BI.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous
You can create the following measure and use it as a filter on the visual. Set it to show items when the value is 1. If you don't select any status, it will show all.
Filter Flag =
SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[Status]),
"Status 1",IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[Status1])="Y",1,0),
"Status 2",IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[Status2])="Y",1,0),
"Status 3",IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[Status3])="Y",1,0),
1)

@Anonymous , Try like
var _filter = Switch(Selectedvalue(Status[Status]),
"Status1" , filter(Table, Table[Status1] = "Y"),
"Status2" , filter(Table, Table[Status2] = "Y"),
"Status3" , filter(Table, Table[Status3] = "Y") )
return
calculate( countrows(Table), _filter)
Hi @Anonymous
are Status 1, 2 & 3 columns in your source data or attributes of one column? Is the slicer table connected with main table using a relationship?
