Measure as a Slicer

[Anonymous]

Hi Guys,

Do you have maybe an idea how a measure could be used as a Slicer?

In my device inventory data, there are some cases where multiple users are logged into the same devices. I created a measure called "Max User" which holds the username of who is logged into the device more frequently.

DeciveID	Max User
1	A
2	B
3	C
4	D
5	E

Now I would like to create a Slicer, based on this measure so that I can filter some visuals based on the username. However, I am unable to put the measure as a slicer.

I would appreciate your help on this.

TIA!

Hi  @Anonymous ,

The measure CAN NOT be applied the slicer. You can create a measure to get a flag which can judge if the user can be displayed or not, and apply a visual-level filter on the visual with the condition(like Flag is 1)... You can refer the following links to get it:
