Reference multiple filters that filter on same column

[kouter]

Hi,

Is it possible to reference multiple filters that filter on the same column, i.e. Filter1 filters on table[attribute] and so does Filter2. And I do not know what the user will choose.

The end goal is to use these rows that are filtered by each filter in a measure.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi @kouter ,

I checked your previous post and tried to understand what your problem is.

You want to implement a dynamic filter, and it's multiple selection, right?

If so, you can create a slicer using [Attribute] column.

Below measure returns the sum of [Value]. In the slicer, hold down Ctrl and click the mouse to select multiple attributes.

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),ALLSELECTED('Table'))

As you can see, if you use a field from the main table as a slicer, then the rows of your table visual will be filtered. If you don't want the rows to be filtered out. You can create a field that is not connected to the table as a slicer to resolve.

Below the field of the slicer is from the calculated table by DAX.

Table 2 = DISTINCT('Table'[Attribute])

Measure 2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Attribute] in ALLSELECTED('Table 2'[Attribute])))

Here, [Attribute] in ALLSELECTED('Table 2'[Attribute]) can be used for multi-select slicers. You'll see that rows of the table visual aren't filtered by the slicer because they're not relevant. However, the filter in the measure comes from the slicer, and the results are affected.

Hi @Anonymous 

Thank you very much for your response. 

I figured out I can use two different calculated tables to distinguish the filters

filter1 = DISTINCT(table[attribute)

filter2 = DISTINCT(table[attribute])

I want to use filter1 to filter the attribute column which will return its corresponding values, and then use filter2 to filter the attribute column which again returns its corresponding values. And then multiply these values with each other on a row by basis.

Any suggestions is much appreciated.
