Items not showing on slicer filtered by measure

Hi there,

 

I am trying to filter items listed on a slicer using a measure to control the records that user can see on the report. But when there are deplicates of the items on the table thhose items does not appear on the filtered slicer. Here is what I have:

 

The measure I setup

 

Login User Measure =

IF (
SELECTEDVALUE( Courses_and_Teachers[user])= [UserMeasure],
1,
0
)
 
Also another measure to clean up the Username to match the user record
 
UserMeasure = SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(USERNAME(),"@edu.au",""),"u","")
 
How the slicer and its filter is setup

The result on the measure and the repeated items on the table

Here is what I got on the final report with 5380807 login. ENVS1001 and ENVS2011 are both missing. I have checked 3177641 login ENVS2011 does not appear too.

May I know what have I done wrongly or missed? Or how better can this be done?
 
Thanks in advance!

Hi @FredChew ,

 

Please try to use the following measure:

Login User Measure =
IF (
    IFERROR (
        FIND (
            [UserMeasure],
            CONCATENATEX (
                VALUES ( Courses_and_Teachers[user] ),
                Courses_and_Teachers[user],
                ","
            )
        ),
        1
    ) = 1,
    0,
    1
)

@FredChew There are two ways we can address this, either jump on a call and go over it or send the pbix file with the explanation and I can take a look.

From the look at what I am getting it seems that I cannot have duplicate of the item on the table? But it doesn't make sense as only one of the duplicate is returning a '1' on the measure and the slicer filter is only filtering the '1'.

 

 

 

Does anyone has any idea? Or is there a better way to do this? Thanks heap.

@parry2k @UserMeasure = SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(USERNAME(),"@edu.au",""),"u",""
 
It is a measure to strip off the extra text to match the record.
