Get Emp Name for the selected ID

I have columns ID, Name.

I'm using Text Filter to enter ID and filter the charts.

 

Requirement: I want the card to show Emp Name, if Length of the ID in the Text filter is equal to 10 characters.

Hello @ARUNTKAP,

Please try following measure:

EmpName = 
VAR SelectedID = SELECTEDVALUE(Table[ID])
VAR IDLength = LEN(SelectedID)
VAR EmpName = CALCULATE(MIN(Table[Name]),FILTER(Table,Table[ID]=IDLength))
RETURN IF(IDLength>=10,EmpName,BLANK())

Hope this helps.

Hi @ARUNTKAP 

 

Do you mean length of text used for seraching or length of result you get after search.

Example

your ids are

12345

45789

 

You type 123

So you are checking length of 123 or length of 12345?

 

If you are checking lengh of 123 then its not possible as text slicer is just used for searching purpose.

 

IF you want to check lenght of result after search that is 12345 then use below dax.

 

IF(LEN(MAX('Table'[ProductID/Category]))=10,MAX('Table'[EmpName]),BLANK())
 
Thanks & regards,

Hope this helps. 

Small correction I did to get the answer:

Instead of FILTER(Table,Table[ID]=IDLength))
FILTERTable,Table[ID]=selectedId))

Hi Pravin Wattamwar,
"If you are checking lengh of 123 then its not possible as text slicer is just used for searching purpose."

In what way can I make it possible. I just want to know the length of characters in the field.

Hi @Anonymous 

Thanks for your input. I shall use your dax formulas in future, for my other need.
