Multiplying a column based on slicer

Hi,

 

I have a data model where I have a day in the year and a certain utlization in one table. For example Day 1 = 0.4, Day 2 = 0.6. Now I also have a table which lists values between 1 and 15. I have put this table in a slicer with 15 different options. 

 

Is it possible to now multiply my utilization by the number selected in my slicer i.e.:

 

Slicer selection = 4

Day 1 = 1.6

Day 2 = 3.2

 

I'm not sure if this is possible or not?

 

Kind regards,

Matthias

    Matthias93,

    The value of Day 2 should be 2.4(4*0.6), right? If so, I make a test in the following sample tables.




    Create the following measure in the first table.

    multiplyMeasure = MAX(Table2[Column1])*MAX(Table1[Column1])


    Create a table visual and  test the slicer.

  • Hi Lydia,

     

    This is exactly what I needed for my dashboard. Thanks for your quick help, I'll try to apply it to my case now.

      Hello Lydia!

       

      Your solution worked great, but I was wondering if your solution also applies when using 2 slicers. What I mean is to first choose an option of multiplier, and then choosing a second option to again multiply the total amount from the previous operation.

       

      Thanks!
