How to create a dynamic Column

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have the following problem. I have a table like such:

CLIENT	DATE	TARGET	SALES ON DEP. A	SALES ON DEP. B
AMADOR	01/02/2022	aaaa	10	0
JOHN	01/02/2022	xxxx	12	13
JACK	02/02/2022	xxxx	5	12
MARIA	03/02/2022	xxxx	5	5
AMADOR	02/02/2022	aaaa	0	4
AMADOR	05/02/2022	aaaa	0	6
MARIA	05/02/2022	cccc	4	0
BLAIR	06/02/2022	cccc	5	2
JACK	06/02/2022	cccc	0	2

let's say I want to show that table as a matrix, without the column "DATE". "DATE" will beocme a slicer, and I want to create a second slicer called "STATE" which has the following logic: 

- if sum(dep A)>0 and sum(dep B)>0 ---> state = shared

- if sum(dep A)>0 and sum(dep B)=0 ---> state = only A

- if sum(dep A)=0 and sum(dep B)>0 ---> state = only B

- if sum(dep A)=0 and sum(dep B)=0 ---> state = other

If I do the logic explained earlier as a calculated measure it works fine, as the measure recalculates itself when the date filter changes. However, when I put the same code as a calculated column, it doesnt respond to the date filter. The idea is, if for example, the date range selected is: 01/02/2022 to 03/02/2022 the table should be something like this:

CLIENT	TARGET	sum(DEP. A)	sum( DEP. B)	STATE
AMADOR	aaaa	10	4	shared
JOHN	xxxx	12	13	shared
JACK	xxxx	5	12	shared
MARIA	xxxx	5	5	shared

However, if the date selection was 02/02/2022 to 05/02/2022, the output table should be:

CLIENT	TARGET	sum( DEP. A)	sum( DEP. B)	STATE
AMADOR	aaaa	0	10	only B
JACK	xxxx	5	12	shared
MARIA	xxxx	5	5	shared
MARIA	cccc	4	0	only A

The reason for which I need "STATE" to be a calculated column and NOT a measure is becasue I need to display it as a filter pane. Please help! I have tried to create a DAX table, but doesnt work, I have tried to create a "map" table with one column with the different possible values of state (let's call it column aux) and try to create a relationship between 'aux' and the calculated measure but of course that doesnt work either... please help!

Hi @Anonymous ,

The clear answer, slicer or filter pane does not work for any table in the data view. The data always from data table to page never than turn back.

If you want to put the STATE in the filter pane , you can put the measure in to filter pane on this visual directly. it works.

1. And create a table contains all the result of STATE measure , put the table in the slicer,
2. then compare the values selected in the slicer with the result of STATE measure, a new measure named IF, if the same then 1 else blank.
3. Put the IF measure in filter pane.

But, if you have many visuals on this page, you need to add them one by one.

Best Regards
