Join many filter columns in one major filter

I have several columns that I am using to signal if an item belongs to a certain task, and an item can be part of multiple tasks. I would like to create a single filter based on which task was selected, that is, if task 1 was selected, it would filter to show only what was "True" in the task 1 column. And so for each task in the filter.
It is possible? Can someone help me?

Hi @StrikerZero ,

  1. In query editors, select Defect column and use 'Unpivot other columns', you will get the two column 'Attribute' and 'Value', close and apply it.
  2. Create a control measure and set its value as 1, put it in the table filter:

 

Control = 
    IF(
        SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Value]) = TRUE(),1,0
    )

 

  • You can create a slicer to get the expected result:filter result.png

Here is my sample demo hopes to help you, please try it: PBIX

@StrikerZero you should unpivot your data and then it will be super easy, go to query editor, select defect column, right click, unpivot other columns, you will have two columns, attribute and value, apply the changes.

 

now you can filter on task and where task is true.
