Hi,
I am struggling to come up with a solution. I have set up 9 unconnected slicers to act as 'or' conditions to filter a table. I have a measure that works to apply the or conditions based on the 9 slicer selections (corresponding to 9 fields in my data table). This works great to filter my big data table.
Now I want to create a subset of that filtered table visual showing only the distinct values from one of the fields which is a text field. I can't figure out how to filter a table by fields that are not in the table visual itself. Is this possible?
I have a SAS background and would do this in SAS:
select distinct customerName
from customerTable
where customerLocation in ('Ontario','Quebec') or customerAge in ('25') or customerType in ('Value','Rewards Member')
Where customerLocation, customerAge, customerType are slicers (except there are 9) and each slicer is its own separate unconnected table and the values for those slicers are also fields in the customerTable.
I found a measure on another thread that I was able to adapt which gives me the result I want, just not in the right format
This:
VAR TEMP =
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( currentInScopeMap_Final[customerId] ),
FILTER (
currentInScopeMap_Final,
currentInScopeMap_Final[customerName]
in values(currentInScope_customerName[classCode])||
currentInScopeMap_Final[customerCity]
in values(currentInScope_customerCity[classCode])||
currentInScopeMap_Final[customerAge]
in values(currentInScope_customerAge[classCode])||
currentInScopeMap_Final[customerType]
in values(currentInScope_customerType[classCode])
)
)
RETURN
CONCATENATEX ( temp, [customerId], ", " )
produces the following 1 row table:
4851, 4891, 7253, 7255, 7256, 7257, 7258, 7259, 7261, 7262, 7263, 7264, 7278, 7288, 7333
What I need is for each of those values to be on separate rows. Any ideas on how I could adapt the measure accordingly?
@jas_power , Assume you have col1 table not used in visual
calculate(sum(Table[Value]), filter(Table, Table[Col1] in values(Slicer1[Col1]) ) )
@amitchandak thank you for that. It looks like it will work for filtering a table by a field that is not in the visual. I have two issues now:
1) My (table[value]) is a text field so I can't use sum and am unsure what to put in its place because I need it to return a distinct list of text values.
2) Do I just add || to connect multiple or conditions:
calculate(sum(Table[Value]), filter(Table, Table[Col1] in values(Slicer1[Col1])||values(Slicer2[Col2]||... ) )
Thanks
