Getting a custom slicer
Hi,
I have two slicers, both which filter data on numerical value columns. I don't wish to have range, just a single cell for each of the slicers where a user inputs the two values and i get the data which follows any one of the conditions.
I have tried the greater than visual but it still gives two boxes and greys out the maximum one which doesn't look tidy. Is there anything else possible?
Hi, Anonymous
According to your description, I can roughly understand your requirement, I think you can achieve this using two calculated tables and a measure, you can try my steps:
- Create two calculated tables like this:
Slicer1 = SUMMARIZE('Data',[Value])Slicer2 = SUMMARIZE('Data',[Value])- Create a measure like this:
Flag = var _range1=ALLSELECTED(Slicer1[Value]) var _range2=ALLSELECTED(Slicer2[Value]) return IF(MAX('Data'[Value]) in _range1||MAX('Data'[Value]) in _range2,1,0)- Then you can create two slicers to place the two new table columns and a table chart to apply a visual filter on this chart like this:
And you can get what you want, like this:

Anonymous you can create two what-if parameters and turn off slider, it will leave with a box to input the value:

Hi,
Thank you for this. The solution feels like almost close but it's not working exactly.
Since i have two slicers created for two of my columns.
Slicer 1 which is linked to column A
Slicer 2 Which is linked to column B
Then the flag logic is something which i am not able to understand.
In the table i am actually getting Name and then these Column A & B to check if its working. But the selection doesn't seem to work.
The table in the visual i am referring to the original file column A & B whereas the slicers are coming from the slicer1 and slicer 2.
I don't seem to understand the max logic with it.
If slicer1 selections gives range of min and max
slicer 2 gives its own range of min and max
We are referring to max of the original column in range of slicer (min, max) || max of second original column in range of slicer2.
If i had Table like
Column A Column B
ABC 50 0
ABC 100 20
DEF 100 0
DEF 0 0
I would see two rows such as
ABC 150 20
DEF 100 0
So if a slicer for 1 is given as 110 and for slicer 2 is given as 0, i should get both the entries
If its 100 and 10 , then only ABC should be seen.
