Hi freginier ,

 

thank you for your reply. However, I have the following error when I create the measure you suggested:

"The number of arguments is invalid. Function CONTAINSROW must have a value for each column in the table expression."

 

Why would it happen?

Hey there,

This happens because the CONTAINSROW function requires all columns of the table expression to be specified.

You need to ensure that all required columns are correctly referenced. Here’s how you can modify the measure:

SelectedSFPairs =
VAR SelectedComp = SELECTEDVALUE(CoppeCitte[Competizione])
VAR SelectedYear = SELECTEDVALUE(CoppeCitte[Anno])
VAR SelectedCity = SELECTEDVALUE(CoppeCitte[CittaMain])

RETURN
IF(
CONTAINSROW(
VALUES(CoppeCitte),
CoppeCitte[Competizione], SelectedComp,
CoppeCitte[Anno], SelectedYear,
CoppeCitte[CittaMain], SelectedCity
), 1, 0
)

 

Then use SelectedSFPairs as a visual filter on the table and set it to 1 so only matching records are displayed.

 

Hope this helps!

😁😁

    Hi again freginier ,

     

    thanks for the suggestion, but I still have some errors, as it says it "Cannot find name [Competizione] and "Cannot find name [Anno]" and "Cannot find name [CittaMain"] , in the bottom part of the code (after the VALUES)

      Hey there!

       

      The issue is because Power BI cannot recognize the column names, check if the column names are correct in the CoppeCitte table, if the names aren't exactly the same it wont work as Power Bi is very sensitive! Also maybe CoppeCitte isn't the correct table name, check that this is correct too. 

       

      If after you checked and it is still not working, try using this DAX formula (it uses ALLSELECTED() Instead of VALUES()) 

      SelectedSFPairs =
      VAR SelectedComp = SELECTEDVALUE(CoppeCitte[Competizione])
      VAR SelectedYear = SELECTEDVALUE(CoppeCitte[Anno])
      VAR SelectedCity = SELECTEDVALUE(CoppeCitte[CittaMain])

      RETURN
      IF(
      LOOKUPVALUE(
      CoppeCitte[SFPair],
      CoppeCitte[Competizione], SelectedComp,
      CoppeCitte[Anno], SelectedYear,
      CoppeCitte[CittaMain], SelectedCity
      ) <> BLANK(),
      1,
      0
      )

       

      And remember to add SelectedSFPairs as a visual-level filter. Set it to "is 1" to only show the filtered records.

       

      If the problem stilllll persists, try  to refresh your data model (Home > Refresh).
      Restart Power BI to ensure it recognizes recent changes.

       

      If this still doesn't work I am not sure how to help ahahhah. Hope this works for you 😁😁

        Hi freginier 

        Thank you again - now the measure works, however I still cannot get the intended result.

        Maybe it's due to the fact that the slicer on the city is pointing to another table (not directly connected to CoppeCitta, but with another table in the middle...)

        I will try to look for some simplification on the model...

        Thanks anyway for your help!
