Periods parameter for user flexibility
hello Sammy22
the best way is using filter pane as mentioned by lbendlin .
if you want tricky way, here is an example of what i did for my project.
1. create a duplicate table of your original table, something like this.
Table 2 = 'Table'
2. create P1 and P2 measure which P1 takes value from original table and P2 takes value from duplicated table.P1 =
IF(
ISFILTERED('Table'),
SUM('Table'[Orders])
)P2 =
IF(
ISFILTERED('Table 2'),
SUM('Table 2'[Orders])
)3. plot your slicer and measure. similarly as above, slicer 1 from original table and slicer 2 from duplicated table.Hope this will help.
Thank you.
Thanks for your help. It would be like the below where there are can be up to 40 different countries. I would be summing up the orders by country by period.
hello Sammy22
to do this, you need to define relationship since P1 and P2 will be group into same country category.
1. create a new table with following DAX.
Country = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Country])
3. add country value from the new table (not country from table P1 and table P2).
4. change P1 and P2 DAX into this DAX if you want to make those blank value into zero. This is basically same DAX with additional if statement for zeroing blank value.
P1 =
var _Value =
IF(
ISFILTERED('Table'),
SUM('Table'[Orders])
)
Return
IF(
ISBLANK(_Value),
0,
_Value
)
P2 =
var _Value =
IF(
ISFILTERED('Table 2'[Date]),
SUM('Table 2'[Orders])
)
Return
IF(
ISBLANK(_Value),
0,
_Value
)
