One column, two filters (using same field)

Hello community,

I think this is an data model issue but maybe there is a dax function that could be helpful

As you can see above, I'm trying to use twice the same field in my report as filter. The first filter should be able to select from a,b to c and the second filter (same column) should be able to filter d,e. At least, I have a measure which concatenates all selected values from col2, like cocantenatex{value1,value2,value3}

It works fine but when I choose for example "a" from the first filter and "d" from the second filter, my measure is null.

 

It would be great, if my measure would be able to capture all values from both filters (same column).

    Hi Anonymous 

    you can try this, create 2 independent table, and put them into slicer,

    table1 = SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"col2",'Table'[col2])
    table2 = SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"col2",'Table'[col2])

    then create the measure, it returns the selected value,

    Measure = SELECTEDVALUE(table1[col2])&","&SELECTEDVALUE(table2[col2])

    result

    Anonymous , Create two independent tables on col 2

    Tab1 = distinct(Table[Col2])

     

    Tab2 = distinct(Table[Col2])

     

    Now create measure

    countrows(filter(Table, Table[Col2] in values(Tab1[Col2]))

     

    Measure on slicer 2

     

    countrows(filter(Table, Table[Col2] in values(Tab2[Col2]))

     

    If need you can combine in single measure too

     

     

    if needed refer similar example
