Fixed & Dynamic Values with Slicer
Hi,
So I am currently struggling with a problem where I am trying use a slicer to filter a column of values, whilst also always keeping a value (not included in the slicer).
A simplified example of the data is:
| Category | Year | Value |
| A | 2018 | 11 |
| A | 2019 | 13 |
| A | 2020 | 19 |
| B | 2018 | 10 |
| B | 2019 | 12 |
| B | 2020 | 17 |
| Fixed | 2018 | 15 |
| Fixed | 2019 | 14 |
| Fixed | 2020 | 20 |
I want to be able to use a slicer to be left with:
| Category | Year | Value | New Col |
| A | 2018 | 11 | 11 |
| A | 2019 | 13 | 13 |
| A | 2020 | 19 | 19 |
| Fixed | 2018 | 15 | 15 |
| Fixed | 2019 | 14 | 14 |
| Fixed | 2020 | 20 | 20 |
When I filter to A, and
| Category | Year | Value | New Col |
| B | 2018 | 10 | 10 |
| B | 2019 | 12 | 12 |
| B | 2020 | 17 | 17 |
| Fixed | 2018 | 15 | 15 |
| Fixed | 2019 | 14 | 14 |
| Fixed | 2020 | 20 | 20 |
when I filter to B. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated. To give a bit more context this is to create a waterfall to compare two categories (one being always fixed the other being dynamically selected).
I managed to solve my problem but I feel like it is a non-optimal solution.
I did this by creating a calculated table and 3 measures:
slic = DISTINCT('Table'[Category]) // This is linked to the main tableFixed Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Category] == "Fixed"))Swap Measure = SUM('Table'[Value])Resulting Measure = CALCULATE([Fixed Measure], ALL(slic[Category])) + [Swap Measure]The resulting measure column is what I was looking for, when you are slicing by the new "slic" table. If anyone has any recomendations that can implement the same functionality in an improved way please let me know.

Hi Anonymous ,
We can create a measure as below and put it to the visual.
Measure = VAR a = SELECTEDVALUE ( slic[Category] ) RETURN IF ( ISFILTERED ( slic[Category] ) && a = MAX ( 'Table'[Category] ), BLANK (), 1 )Hi v-frfei-msft , sorry but this solution filters to the two categories not selected, is there a way of doing so that we can always have Fixed shown and switch between the other two? Thanks
