Keep some rows in my table even if some filter is applied

Hi everyone!!

I was wondering if can I keep some rows in a table even if I filter this table. Here is an example:

 

I have a table visual with 2 Columns: 

 

Countries & others      Profit

Spain                           100

India                            200

China                           400

France                          90

Other                          150

 

I have a filter with all the countries that appear in the table, but not for "Other", what I would like to do is be able to filter the table for any country in the filter but keep showing always the "Other" row. Adding the "Other" country in the filter is not an option, as is not a real country I just want to filter some part of the table but keep always that "Other" row as static.

 

Seems like something easy but cant figure out how to solve it.

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Kind Regards.

Hi @ICRdatalover1 ,

 

You could create a calculated table as slicer.

Table 2 = FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Countries & others]),'Table'[Countries & others]<>"Other")

Then create a measure as below and add it to visual filter.

Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Countries & others])="Other"||SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Countries & others]) in VALUES('Table 2'[Countries & others]),1,0)

 Result would be shown as below.

Hi, This works great!! I appreciate it. in my case, if we have another column which has values A and B. this countries & other, profit values will repeat there. in that case, when we select A, this countries & other slicer will show all the values regardless of column A. i only want to show values related to A only when selecting A value from Column slicer. is there any way for that?

 

Now I realize what I was doing wrong. Works prefect now! Thanks a lot @Anonymous 

Hi @Anonymous,

 

That could work! I´ll give it a try and let you know today.

@MatjoCol you have to have a disconnected table for the slicer to achieve this, similar to this post
