Find and filter a text in column
- 2 years ago
Hi GrandeMariela To acheive such filter using slicer, you need to create a calculated table with single column values are distinct color.
datatable:
Try the below code to create a new distinct color table:
ColorTable = DISTINCT ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES (1, PATHLENGTH(SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATEX('datatable', 'datatable'[product_color], ";"), ";", "|"))), "Color", TRIM ( PATHITEM ( SUBSTITUTE ( CONCATENATEX ( 'datatable', 'datatable'[product_color], ";" ), ";", "|" ), [Value] ) ) ) )See Image Also:
Write a color search measure:
Color_Search = VAR searchvalue = SELECTEDVALUE (ColorTable[Color] ) RETURN IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( CONCATENATEX ( 'datatable', 'datatable'[product_color], ";" ), searchvalue ), 1, 0 )Create slicer and table visual and place the newly created measure in "Filter on visuals" option:
That's it!! Now if you select color in slicer, and the table will filter accordingly. See the output:
Hope this helps!!
If this solved your problem, please accept it as a solution!!

The solution provided according to your problem. Now I don't know what you are trying to visualize in cards. For example, If I decided to show totals in cards and want slice by color, then the measure could be like:
Total_Value = VAR selectedColor = SELECTEDVALUE(ColorTable[Color]) RETURN CALCULATE( SUM('datatable'[total]), FILTER( 'datatable', CONTAINSSTRING('datatable'[product_color], selectedColor) ) )This measure will calculate totals based on slicer selection. So, basically 2 measure, one for table and this one for cards to visualize totals. See image below:
Hope this helps!!
