How to: show data in secondary table IF one company is selected in the primary table

Dear Members, 

 

I am encountering a small challenge in my PowerBI dasboard. I am creating a dashboard with the search profiles of companies. There is one specific text field called 'Need' (see bottom right of the dashboard). This is written text with additional info about a company's search criteria. 

 

Now I would like to create a filter to only show the company's need (bottom right in the dashboard IF only one company from the primary table is selected (large table on the left/middle.

How can I create such as filter?

Hello Robert, 

 

for example like this: 

 

HasOneFilter = 
    IF(
        HASONEFILTER(Tabelle1[Company Name]),
        VALUES(Tabelle1[Needs]), "")

 

in Tabelle1[CompanyName] you look if there is a filter on this, in VALUES(Tabelle1[Needs]) you give the column that needs to be returned when the company name is filtered. 
If nothing is selected, return empty. 

Does that help?

Have you looked into functions like HASONEVALUE() or HASONEFILTER() ?

I have no clue how I should type the measure, to be honest.
