Hi All,
I need a help to create Virtual Table -
I have a dropdown slicer. Based on the Dropdown slicer selection i need to caluculate the distance from the selected location to existing table locations. I am using measure for caluculation part. I am able to get all the location distance from the selected location.
It is working fine for single selection as Expected (Example below)
| Single Selection | |||
| Selected Value in the Slicer Dropdown | ABC | ||
| Table | |||
| Name | Location | Amount | Distance(Using Measure) |
| ABC | Location1 | 1000 | 123 |
| BCD | Location2 | 1001 | 234 |
| CDF | Location3 | 1002 | 345 |
| DEF | Location4 | 1003 | 567 |
| EFG | Location5 | 1004 | 123 |
| FGH | Location6 | 1005 | 278 |
If i select multiple locations in the dropdown, Power BI is confused to caluculate the distance. I need a way to caluculate multiple selections. (i think it can be possible using Virtual table as below.)
| Multiple Selection | ||
| Selected Value in the Slicer Dropdown | ABC, BDC |
| Table | |||||
| Name | Location | Amount | Distance(Using Measure) | Selected Value | |
| ABC | Location1 | 1000 | 123 | ABC | |
| BCD | Location2 | 1001 | 234 | ABC | |
| CDF | Location3 | 1002 | 345 | ABC | |
| DEF | Location4 | 1003 | 567 | ABC | |
| EFG | Location5 | 1004 | 123 | ABC | |
| FGH | Location6 | 1005 | 278 | ABC | |
| ABC | Location1 | 1000 | 123 | BDC | |
| BCD | Location2 | 1001 | 234 | BDC | |
| CDF | Location3 | 1002 | 345 | BDC | |
| DEF | Location4 | 1003 | 567 | BDC | |
| EFG | Location5 | 1004 | 123 | BDC | |
| FGH | Location6 | 1005 | 278 | BDC |
Can anyone guide me on this approach.?

if you follow my logic calculation I think you will go do it
Hi @Ahmedx ,
Thanks for your Quick help. I can use this. In my case the @slicer value we are getting from other table. As we are having 2.5L records in the Other table. Can we caluculate the Virtual table only the values after slicer select?
