Help with dynamic filtering

[dosania]

Hi,

I would like to introduce some dynamic filtering into my dashboard, where I have 2 filters that help select the final value shown. The first filter should narrow down the range the second filter gives the options users can see. I’m having trouble writing the first piece of DAX which will narrow down the selection of measures to select from, and the second which selects the subset from the first subset.

I started with the second filter, which shows values by sales type, but the team then wanted to split this to see Sales including/excluding commission.

The first set of data/measures looks like the following;

Name	Field	Filter
Gross Inc	Gross sales inc commission	Include Commision
Gross Ex	Gross sales Ex commission	Include Commision
Net Inc	Net sales inc commission	Include Commision
Net Ex	Net sales inc commission	Include Commision
Signed Inc	Signed sales inc commission	Include Commision
Signed Ex	Signed sales inc commission	Include Commision

Sales Commision =
var _commisionType = SELECTEDVALUE('Include Commision'[ParameterSelect])

RETURN
switch(_commisionType, "Yes", [Sales Inc Commision],
"No", [Sales Ex Commision],
[Blank])

The final subset from the first selection will look like the following;

Measure Name	Field Name	Filter
Gross Sales	Gross Sales	Sales Type
Net Sales	Net Sales	Sales Type
Signed Sales	Signed Sales	Sales Type

Reporting Sales =
var _salesType = SELECTEDVALUE('Sales Type'[Name])

RETURN
switch(_salesType, "Gross Sales", [Gross Sales],
"Signed Sales", [Signed Sales"],
"Net Sales", [Net Sales],
[Blank])

I was wondering if someone could advise the best way to structure the data and write the DAX to get the final output to show in my tables and cards for users to see this information?

Thanks

Hi , @dosania 

According to your description, you want to create two filters in your dashborad. Right?

The data you provide doesn't look like your raw data, and I don't quite understand your business needs and desired end result.
If you want to create two filters, and the result of the second filter is the result of the first filter, then you need to make sure that there is a hierarchical relationship between the two fields.

And these two fields need to be in one table, because measures cannot be placed in the filter.

If this method does not meet your needs, you can provide us with your special sample data and the desired output sample data in the form of tables, so that we can better help you solve the problem.

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
