Help with filtering data in the report
The "Data" table is in power bi is shown below
Data Table
| Weight | Palletization | Workmanship standard |
| Full Compliance | Partial Compliance | Partial Compliance |
| Full Compliance | Partial Compliance | Full Compliance |
| Partial Compliance | Not Applicable | Full Compliance |
| Zero Compliance | Full Compliance | Full Compliance |
| Not Applicable | Partial Compliance | Partial Compliance |
I would like to have a slicer filter with the following options
- Full Compliance
- Partial Compliance
- Zero Compliance
- Not Applicable
The filter selection depending upon the chosen option(s) would produce a report of the total count for each options as follow -
| Full Compliance | Partial Compliance | Zero Compliance | Not Applicable | |
| Weight | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Palletization | 1 | 3 | 1 | |
| Workmanship Standard | 2 | 3 |
I created another table having single column showing selection options for slicer filter but in absence of any relationship between this created table and data table the filtering would not work.
Is there any way to accomplish this? Any help is appreciated.
You can do it in Power Query Editor. So the source has the same structure and your dataset for the report a other.

I would bring the raw data table in a other structure. Than it is easier to make the calculation. You can do it via Power Query Editor.

Yes! 🙂
Thank you. The problem is I am getting the data from Microsoft forms and the way it is structured is as given in data table. And, I have shown only 3 columns but there are about 30 columns with similar headings.
