Need to apply a nested filter to a table visual
I am connected live to a Power BI semantic model. So I can't create a new column etc. I am trying to write a DAX measure that will allow me to filter a table visual. The model includes a field called RPN which displays a number (1-70) and field called Level which displays one of four names (low, medium, high, TBD). I need to filter my table visual to only show results where RPN is >30 -OR- RPN is less than or equal to 30 and Level is medium or high. Any suggestions?
Amanda,
Honestly, this would ideally be done upstream anyway. I know you said you couldn't modify the model yourself. However, is it possible to ask whoever has control over the data source itself to add in that filter as a column for you?

Hi Amanda,
You can create a measure like:
Table Visual Filter = VAR SelRPN = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[RPN] ) VAR SelLevel = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Level] ) VAR Result = SelRPN > 30 || ( SelRPN <= 30 && SelLevel IN { "Medium", "High" } ) RETURN FORMAT ( Result, "" ) -- converts True/False to textThen in your table visual, you can add the measure as a filter and filter for Table Visual Filter is True.
