How to add a measure as a filter? Not filtering correctly

Hello, 

 

I created a measure that I want to add as a filter, but it will not filter correctly. I want to filter instructor > 15 surveys. 

SurveyMeasure = CALCULATE(COUNT(SurveyAnalysis[Account]), ALL(SurveyAnalysis), VALUES(SurveyAnalysis[Instructor]))

Try using this measure as a filter:

filter = IF([Surveys] > 15, 1)

add it as a filter and set the value to = 1

It will still work. Create the measure:
Filter Surveys = IF(COUNT(Table[Surveys]) > 15, 1)

and add it to the filter for the visual in the filter pane and set the value to 1.

See this example

My filter measure:

Filter Count = 
IF(COUNT(Sales[Actuals]) >100, 1)

Thank you so much for the quick response. Sorry if I confuse you, I don't want to hard code the number (I took 15 as an example.) 

I just want users to type  XX number of surveys in the filter. Is there any way I can change the hard code number to be the dynamic or user-entered number? 

 

Thank you so much

Sure. First create a table to use as the slicer. Under Modeling in the ribbon, select new table and type in

Count Slicer =
VAR _Max =
    MAXX (
        VALUES ( SurveyAnalysis[Instructor] ),
        CALCULATE ( COUNT ( SurveyAnalysis[Account] ) )
    )
RETURN
    GENERATESERIES ( 1, _Max, 1 )

This creates a table of continuous values from 1 to the max count of accounts. In my example, I've called the table 'Count Slicer'

Create a slicer from this table, and in the dropdown, select "Greater or equal to "

Now create the measure to use as the filte:

Count by slicer =
VAR _Min =
    MIN ( 'Count Slicer'[Value] )
VAR _Count =
    COUNT ( SurveyAnalysis[Account] )
RETURN
    COUNTROWS (
        CALCULATETABLE (
            VALUES ( SurveyAnalysis[Instructor] ),
            FILTER ( SurveyAnalysis, _Count > _Min )
        )
    )

Add the measure to the filter pane and set the value to = 1

Thank you so much. I never thought this would be a little complex and without you, I will never figure it out. Again, thank you so much, this works for me.

Thank you for the response, I can not add Surveys to the filter. It's just a field that does a count. That's why I created a measure.

 

I want to measure to select values, I mean >15 or some other number.
