Replace Column A with Column B by referencing the values in the visual not the query.

[U156531]

I have the following results in my Visual. I would like to replace the value in Column A with the value in Column B if Column B is equal to 3. Is there a way to reference the values in the visual without using the query columns that produced the results?

Begining with

     ColumnA       ColumnB 

         1                     1

         2                     3  

Desired results

     ColumnA       ColumnB 

         1                     1

         3                     3

Hi @U156531 ,

So far, to my knowledge, there is no way to achieve it without measure or calculated column, but i suggest you create a measure to achieve it.

Please try below steps:

1. below is my test table

Table:

2. create a measure with below dax formula

Measure =
VAR _b =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Column B] )
VAR _a =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Column A] )
RETURN
    IF ( _b = 3, _b, _a )

3. add a table visual with fields and measure

Please refer the attached .pbix file.

Thanks, That worked!

If I just want all the rows from both _a and _b in the same column how would I change this statement to accomplish that?

Hi @U156531 ,

You could try to splice them into a string.

This has gotten me close to the solution but now I'm getting a lot of extra rows where the numeric values are blank. I've tried to filter them out by adding a filter to the Filters on this visual pane but it runs out of memory. Is there an enhancement that can be added to your formula that might filter out these extra rows with blank numeric values?

Thanks

Hi @U156531 ,

You could set the filter condition in the visual filter pane:

It looks like this is going to reference the columns in the queries that produced the visual. Is there a method to directly reference the columns in the visual?

@U156531 , You can change the value directly in visual but you can create another table using DAX

NewColumn = IF([ColumnB] = 3, [ColumnB], [ColumnA])

Please accept as solution and give kudos if it helps

How do I change the value directly in the visual?
