Filtering a chart to show all rows with a cross-filtered value

Hello,

 

I have data in the following structure:

GroupSubGroupSubGroupValue
Group1Sub13
Group1Sub26
Group1Sub36
Group2Sub44
Group2Sub51
Group2Sub68
Group2Sub72
Group3Sub83
Group3Sub97
Group3Sub108

 

The end user of the Power BI report has slicers for both "Group" and "SubGroup", but they will be primary interested in filtering down to a single "SubGroup" value at a time.

 

I want to make a column chart that shows one "SubGroupValue" column for each "SubGroup" within the selected value of "Group". I mocked up some examples in Excel below. The top chart ("Have") reflects the column chart before an end user filters to a single "SubGroup" value. The bottom chart ("Want") reflects the desired column chart after an end user filters to a single "SubGroup" value (i.e., "Sub2").

Henry:

I haven't been able to replicate the solution yet. In particular, I can't seem to set up the initial visualization, such that the up arrow isn't grayed out.

 

Ibendlin:

What visualization are you using initially? And in which spots did you put the fields?

 

Thank you
