Hi there!
I have a table in the following format:
Area; Birds; Woods; Buildings;
Name1; x; ; x;
Name2; x; x; x;
Name3; ; ; x;
That is, the x specifies if there are Buildings in the area.
I want to create a slicer ("Filter by group") that is ideally in the format of a dropdown and the user could select "Birds" to filter a visual based on only where the Birds column is not blank (or is x). I've tried a few measures and calculated columns without luck.
(The format of x is from the person I'm doing this for - I thought about changing it to format true/false but I haven't exactly found good reason for it, except for x not being a great data point / format).
Could you help with this?

Hi @darrirafn ,
According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.
(1) My test data is the same as yours.
(2) If you want the slicer to keep three columns when selecting Birds, then we can create a [slicer] table and a [flag] measure.
Slicer = DATATABLE (
"Type", STRING,
{
{ "Birds" },
{ "Woods" },
{ "Buildings"}
}
)
Flag = SWITCH(TRUE(),
ISFILTERED('Slicer'[Type])=FALSE(),1,
SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[Type])="Birds" && MAX('Table'[Birds]) <> BLANK(),1,
SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[Type])="Buildings" && MAX('Table'[Buildings]) <> BLANK(),1,
SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[Type])="Woods" && MAX('Table'[Woods]) <> BLANK(),1,0)
Use the fields of the [slicer] table as a slicer, and place [flag=1] on the visual object filter.
(3)If you want only the Birds column to be displayed on the visual object when the slicer selects Birds, then we can create a field parameter and a measure.
Flag2 =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
ISFILTERED(Parameter[Parameter Fields])=FALSE(),1,
SELECTEDVALUE(Parameter[Parameter Order])=0 && MAX('Table'[Birds]) <> BLANK() ,1,
SELECTEDVALUE(Parameter[Parameter Order])=1 && MAX('Table'[Buildings]) <> BLANK(),1,
SELECTEDVALUE(Parameter[Parameter Order])=2 && MAX('Table'[Woods]) <> BLANK(),1,0)

Hi,
Your question is not clear. Share data in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel file and show the expected result.
