Apologies if the subject is not 100% clear - it is difficult to describe as English is not my native language.
I have a simplified data set that represents my problem. Also attached sample PBIX.
| Source ID | Row ID | Value | Is Visible? |
| A | A | 10 | False |
| A | A | 20 | True |
| A | B | 3 | True |
| B | C | 4 | True |
| B | C | 7 | False |
| B | D | 1 | True |
| B | D | 6 | False |
| B | D | 11 | False |
I want to create the following behavior in Power BI:
So opening the Power BI with no selections would give count of invisible = 4. But clicking on first row (A, A), counter should update to 1 (in attached it goes BLANK). Clicking on row (A,B) should give 0. Row (B, C) should give 1. Row (B,D) should give 2.
I am trying to build this in, but no matter what I try, cross-filtering gives BLANK in the counter. For example, in below screenshot, I want it to give 2.
This is an oversimplified example, so the solution will be retrofitted into the original report.
Please help? Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@WDarwish for card, add this following measure and you don't need visual level filter on card whcih you currently have.
Invisible Count = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( 'Sample' ), NOT 'Sample'[Is Visible?] )

@WDarwish Basically that measure is saying just ignore any filter on Is Visible and just count where Is Visible is False

Is it really this simple? Are you a magician? 😄
Seriously though, do you mind explaining the logic of how it works? I understand the individual functions used in the measure, but I do not understand how they combine to filter out data and count only rows of concern.
