Hierarchical Slicers

Hi there

 

I'm trying to use Power BI to do analysis on scenario-based data, and am struggling to figure out how to dynamically group attributes to filter the data based on dynamic scenario selection.

 

I have a list of products, and a number of sales scenarios for each (Base Case, Pessimistic, Optimistic). I want to be able to, for each product, choose which scenario's data I want to use, and then roll up that data into a single sales figure across all products. For instance, I'm confident that Product A will sell less than expected, so I'll associate it with "Pessimistic", but with Product B I think it might sell more than average (so I'll select Optimistic). I want to be able to do this dynamically within the visualization as opposed to pre-define which scenario to associate with each product.

 

The closest thing to a solution I have found is the HierarchySlicer visualization, but that doesn't enforce mutual exclusivity when choosing which scenarios to associate with each product. i.e.: I can select multiple scenarios for a product, thereby double-counting sales.

 

Are there any smart ways out there to achieve this kind of filtering dynamically? Sort of like a slicer but with more than just one data attribute, and ideally with some form of cascading.

 

Thanks!

Hi @iansaunder,

 

You could have a try with the custom visual HierarchySlicer.

 

If you need additional help please share some data sample which can reproduce the scenario and expected output, so that we can help further investigate on it? You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.)

 

Best Regards,

Cherry
