Same string showing double time in filter.

Hi All,
I am facing one problem in Power BI Desktop I created a calculated column and my code which I have written to create a column is:-

Platform = IF(table[Platform]="Total","Total (18+)",IF(table[Platform]="TotalFB","Total (18+)",IF(table [Platform]="TotalYoutube","Total (18+)",table[Platform])))

When I put newly created column in filter it shows me double “Total (18+)” just like below image:

And when I tries to click only single total it automatic select both total.

I double check my code and data dropdown shown me only single Total (18+).

Need help to resolve this issue.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Is your problem solved? I tested it with your formula and it was successful, showing single ‘‘Total (18+)’’ in the slicer.

@Anonymous Thanks for your reply.
Yes, My problem resolved, I don't know what was the problem.
I simple removed calculated column and re created it with the same formula.

@Anonymous To eliminate possibilities of typos and such, perhaps try:

Platform = IF(table[Platform]="Total" || table[Platform]="TotalFB" || table [Platform]="TotalYoutube","Total (18+)",table[Platform])
