Good people, I'm just starting to play with Power Bi with a database that I downloaded and I'm currently stuck in something, I tell you and the last thing I leave the formulas I used:
I have the following table, called FilterSalesDetails
| Guy | Share |
| Units sold | About the total |
| Orders | About the category |
| GR$ | About the brand |
| Hl |
|
My idea is to create an array where there are two filters: one for "Type" and one for "Share", here I show you my matrix:
If I select an option in the "Type" filter, I should change only the columas "FilterType" and "FilterVariacionMes1", the "FilterShare" column should only be changed when I press something in the "Share" filter. What I did works half-heartedly:
If I select an option in "Share", it effectively gives me the result I expect in the "FilterShare" column and if I select a value in the "Type" filter it correctly shows me the values for their two respective columns, but here the problems begin:
-First: when I select something in filter "Type", it also shows me a value in "FilterShare" and this has to do, I suppose, """with the relationship between the columns of the tables"", I explain: if I select "Units sold", in FiltroShare I see the value corresponding to "About the total" (since, seeing the table above, it is "next to"), the same if I select Orders-->About the category, etc.
-Second: as there is clearly a problem in that """relationship"", if I select in the first filter, "Units Sold" and in the second filter one other than "About Total", I see "Select Filter" (which has to do with the formula I use, I leave them below).
So, here are the formulas:
SelectTipo = SELECTEDVALUE('FiltrosSalesDetails'[Tipo])
SelectShare = SELECTEDVALUE('FiltrosSalesDetails'[Share])FiltroTipo = SWITCH(TRUE(),
[SelectTipo]="Units sold", calculation,
[SelectTipo]="Orders", calculation,
[SelectTipo]="GR", calculation,
[SelectTipo]="HL",calculation,
"Select Filter"
)
(same at the time, Tipo I blocked it with respect to Share) but it didn't work.
I know that this could be easily solved by creating another table with those 3 rows (or 4, depending on which column you choose), but let's say that I do not want because I am stubborn or does not walk the Power Bi 😅 button, I would like to know if there is any solution, some kind of filter, something with an if that can solve this.
Of course, thank you very much
Hi, @Syndicate_Admin
I'm afraid there is no other better way. The field 'Tipo' and the field 'Share' are the data of the same table. When you filter Tipo, you also perform a filter operation on the field 'Share‘ as well.
For you requirement, you have to create separate dimension tables for the fields "Tpo" and "Share" to filter the data in the Fact Table.
