Kind of weird one here.
I need to filter a set of data for groups of train routes, but the collective category doesn't exist in the main dataset. My company uses a cube, so I don't have access to the back end of Power BI to create the new column that would run this filter perfectly (and there's a several month wait for new additions to our part of the cube, which my boss isn't impressed with).
Is there any way in DAX to create a filter (that could be used with a slicer) to group these routes together, without requiring access to the back end and M query?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@TrainGeekGab the problem is you are using SSAS wiht live connection but if it is import, you can create groups to achieve the goal, I don't see what you can potentially do using Live connection.
