Multiselect filter as DAX

Hi All, 

 

I have 2 tables, they don't have a relationship but have unique identifiers and I would still like them to "work together", meaning I want visuals to be filtered if values are selected on other visual or filters. It's fine if I use SELECTEDVALUES or VALUES and item is selected but I have a problem when multiple items are selected.

 

Example:

if(VALUES(Table1[ID])=VALUES(Table2[ID]),"Include","Exclude")

 

but this will throw error if multiple items are selected

@Krcmajster ,

 

You may modify the measure like below:

Result =
IF ( VALUES ( Table1[ID] ) IN VALUES ( Table2[ID] ), "Include", "Exclude" )

Result =
IF ( VALUES ( Table1[ID] ) IN FILTERS ( Table2[ID] ), "Include", "Exclude" )

Try using the IN operator and I would ditch the VALUES.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

@Greg_Deckler How you suggest to formulate the measure? It doesn't matter what the output (integer, string, boolean) is as long as it I can add it as a filter to a visual
