Filtering row header and column header for matrix visual

Hi All,

 

I have a problem with context filtering. I have to calculate measure (direct query mode) for the matrix visual purposes. What I want to achieve is to dynamically compare row and column headers (from different dimensions) and if they are equal put 0. Any ideas ?

 

CALCULATE(something; FILTER(DimensionA[columnA];CONTAINS(DimensionA;DimensionA[columnA];DimensionB[columnB])=true());

 

As result I want to have something like this:
       A     B     C     D
A     0    1     1     1
B     1     0     1     1
C     1     1     0     1
D     1     1     1     0

This measure is sliced by both DimensionA[columnA] and DimensionB[columnB]. It will not detect if current slicing member has same name.

 

Is there relationship between DimensionA[columnA] and DimensionB[columnB]? If not, you must have a table with both colums cross join.

Then create a measure like below: 

 

 = IF(MAX('Table'[ColumnA])=MAX('Table'[ColumnB]),0,1)
