How to create a "reverse" slicer filter? Select thing and shows the except

I have a table with some sales, like the following:

 

Id_ProductProductGroupSubgroupValue_SoldDate_Sold
1ComputerEletronicsIT10002018-05-01
1ComputerEletronicsIT10002017-06-01
1ComputerEletronicsIT10002017-07-01
2MouseEletronicsPeripherals252018-05-01
2MouseEletronicsPeripherals252018-06-01
3HeadphoneEletronicsSound352018-12-01

 

I need to make a entire page that suffer the inverse action of slicer.

 

On my table I have sales on May/June/July and December and on 2017 and 2018.
If the user selects DECEMBER/2018 for example, my entire page should show only sales that NOT HAPPENED on DECEMBER, something like the inverse filter. 

The user select a month and the page shows values different than selected value. 

By the way, my page has a table and I show wich product not sold on selected date, I cannot show only SUM of Value_Sold, I need show the products with their own group, subgroup and name.

Is it possible?

OK, I was able to accomplish it. So, what you need is a Separate table for your dates like:

 

 

Table = DISTINCT('Table'[Date_Sold])

Relate that to your main table. Create a slicer based upon this new table but Edit Interactions such that it does not interact with your table. Now, create a Measure like:

 

 

Measure 2 = 
VAR __selected = MAX(Table8[Date_Sold])
VAR __current = MAX(Table7[Date_Sold])
VAR __yearSelected = YEAR(__selected)
VAR __monthSelected = MONTH(__selected)
VAR __yearCurrent = YEAR(__current)
VAR __monhtCurrent = MONTH(__current)
RETURN
IF(__yearCurrent = __yearSelected && __monhtCurrent = __monthSelected,0,1)

Now, filter on that for Greater than 0. 

 

See Page 4, Tables 7 and 8 of attached.

Hello!

 

I know this topic is old, but I have a similar problem and this approach seems to be an option.

In my case I have 4 different states for a project (that would be a slicer) and then I have a table with many part numbers which have a state as well.

My goal is to revers filter based on these rules: 

- If I select P, I want to see A, B and C.

- If I select C, I want to see B and A.

- If I select B or A, I want to see A.

 

Does anybody has any idea on how to accomplish it?

Many thanks in advance!
