Page Filter Conditional Multiple Category Selection
Hi,
In Power BI I have a table with a column with the following categories:
- Within 25 Mile Radius
- Within 40 Mile Radius
- Outside 40 Mile Radius
- No Postcode Available
How do I create a page filter with the following options & consequences:
- Within 25 Mile Radius filters Within 25 Mile Radius
- Within 40 Mile Radius filters Within 25 Mile Radius & Within 40 Mile Radius
- Outside 40 Mile Radius filters Outside 40 Mile Radius
- No Postcode Available filters No Postcode Available
So a normal filter except for the 2nd option in bold. I feel i need to create a reference table, connect in a data model then create a measure that affects the slicer.
Really appreciate any help.

Thanks for Sergii24's concern about this issue.
Hi, NMOORE
I am glad to help you.
Yes, you can create a reference table, but you don't need to create a relationship between them.
Since you did not give me some test data for testing, I assumed some test data myself:
Then create a reference table:Reference Table = SELECTCOLUMNS(Table1,"Category",Table1[Category])
Remember, do not create relationships between them:
Then create a Measure:SelectedFilter = VAR _selectedValue = SELECTEDVALUE('Reference Table'[Category]) RETURN IF( NOT ISFILTERED('Reference Table'[Category]), 1, SWITCH( TRUE(), _selectedValue = "Within 25 Mile Radius" && MAX(Table1[Category]) = "Within 25 Mile Radius", 1, _selectedValue = "Within 40 Mile Radius" && MAX(Table1[Category]) IN {"Within 25 Mile Radius", "Within 40 Mile Radius"}, 1, _selectedValue = "Outside 40 Mile Radius" && MAX(Table1[Category]) = "Outside 40 Mile Radius", 1, _selectedValue = "No Postcode Available" && MAX(Table1[Category]) = "No Postcode Available", 1, 0 ) )
Drag the Category field of the Reference Table to the Slicer:
Then drag the Measure to the Filters panel and set it to 1:Result:
I have attached the pbix file for this simple example below, I hope it helps.
I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Hi, thanks for replying. Unfortunately not. It's simply what the client wants and I agree, it needs to filter items inclusive of the radius. In regards to your initial comment, that's what I was thinking, happy to get things complicated regarding models, reltionships and DAX, usually find a solution but this one had me stumped!

Hi,
Appreciate the help on this one, I got it working. It was a bit trickier as I had to filter the whole page, and not just a table graphic, so I used this where I could then I had to do some new measures for cards and cumulative graph
