Group Column Values based on another column value?

[BarryFletcher]

Hi all,

I have a table with some values that I need to group other columns based on that value....

So I have a column called "Location" and based on that location value I have a list of names in other columns that I would like to associate with that location (hope that makes sense)

Example:

If the location value is "Building 1" I would like to be able to pick a list of people whose names are on other columns as being associated with that Building / Location?

The columns I have in the table are: "Location", "WP Owner1", "WPOwner2", WP Owner3", WP Owner4" etc etc

So if the location is "Building1" then I would like to associate "WP Owner 1" and "WP Owner 2" to "Building 1"

or

If the location is Building2" then I might need to associate "WP Owner 3" and "Wp Owner 4" to "Building 2"

etc

etc

Hi, @BarryFletcher 

Based on your description, I have created some measures to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.

Measure:

Group =

VAR _location =

    SELECTEDVALUE ( Location[Location] )

VAR _result =

    SWITCH (

        _location,

        "Building 1",

            IF (

                SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[WP Owner] ) = "WP Owner 1"

                    || SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[WP Owner] ) = "WP Owner 2",

                1

            ),

        "Building 2",

            IF (

                SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[WP Owner] ) = "WP Owner 3"

                    || SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[WP Owner] ) = "WP Owner 4",

                1

            ),

        "Building 3", IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[WP Owner] ) = "WP Owner 5", 1 ),

        IF ( NOT ISFILTERED ( Location[Location] ), 1 )

    )

RETURN

    _result
