Here is my underlying table
| Product | Feature_1 | Feature_2 | Feature_3 | Feature_4 |
| A | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| B | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| C | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| D | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| E | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
I would like to create a filter drop_down when i
select Feature_1, it will return me A, B, C, E
select Feature 2, it wil return me A, C
Is there a way to do this in PowerBI?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @GAPER ,
Yes you can do this in PowerBI .
Go to Power Query and select all features column from 1 to 4 and unpivot it.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUtJBQrE60UoBRfkppcklQK5bamJJaVFqvCES2wiJbYzENgHrdQSKGEKxARiDRJ2QRAzhos5IaiEYJOoC1wlTDxJ1RTETLBoLAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t, Column5 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}}),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Changed Type", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"", type text}, {"_1", type text}, {"_2", type text}, {"_3", type text}, {"_4", type text}}),
#"Promoted Headers1" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Changed Type1", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
#"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers1",{{"Product", type text}, {"Feature_1", Int64.Type}, {"Feature_2", Int64.Type}, {"Feature_3", Int64.Type}, {"Feature_4", Int64.Type}}),
#"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type2", {"Product"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{{"Attribute", "Feature"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns"
Then plot silcer of feature column and table of product column .
ADD Visual level filter in table where value = 1

Sorry - my question is how do i replace the parameter with my table. Thanks.
I just don't know how do i replace the parameters in the powerQuery . For example this is how i would replace in the first line but i don't know how do i replace the rest.
How do i go to power query?Like in the data modeling?
Wholly **bleep**. This thing is insane

Actually this might not solved the problem? Because if I selected like feature 2 and 3. Is it returning multiple row of A? If i have any aggregration of the value. For example the below. Will it still be aggregrating everything correctly? Thanks
| Product | Feature_1 | Feature_2 | Feature_3 | Feature_4 | Sales |
| A | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 15 |
| B | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 15 |
| C | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 23 |
| D | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 50 |
| E | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
