Filter to disconnected tables.

Hi everyone,

I am quite new to DAX formulas and I would appreciate your support on this.

I have a matrix table based on dept and cost. There are two disconnected tables(based on project) used in the matrix to return dept costs for selected projects. The image below shows the matrix is filtered based on the selection of the disconnected tables. In the screenshot below, the country and cluster slicers have no interaction with the disconnected tables.

I created two DAX formulas to return cost for selected projects 1 and 2 in the matrix.
cost_project1



cost_project2


Data model

 

I want to create a slicer for country and cluster to filter the disconnected tables i.e if a country and cluster are selected, the disconnected tables return projects available in the selected country and cluster. 

Please how do I achieve this? Find attached the file below.

Thank you.

    Hi, Kayla2020 

     

    You can try the following methods.

    Measure = 
Var _table=UNION(CALCULATETABLE(Slicer_1),FILTER(Slicer_1,[project]=SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer_1[project])),CALCULATETABLE(Slicer_2),FILTER(Slicer_2,[project]=SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer_2[project])))
Return
IF(SELECTEDVALUE(Facts_table[project]) in _table,1,0)

    Place measure in the filter of the view to be filtered and set it equal to 1.

    Is this the result you expect?

      Thank you for your response speedramps

      I am trying to compare dept cost between two projects in the same location.

      What I did - I created two disconnected tables for the selection of the projects and created measures based on these tables.

      What I am trying to achieve - I want to apply country and cluster slicers as filters to the disconnected tables so that if a country and cluster are selected, the disconnected table slicers return projects in the selected country and cluster. This would enable me to select projects based on the same location and cluster.

      Please find attached the pbix file.

      Thanks.
