Select columns in table dynamically based on Slicer
Hello All,
I have a hierarchy of metrics and I want the same to be displayed on the table based on the slicer selection.
For example:
This is the school level data and all of the columns other than the first one is numeric.
| ID | # Students | Students Attendance | Teachers Attendance | Average Class Size |
| 121 | 78 | 0.8 | 0.94 | 23 |
| 134 | 54 | 0.7 | 0.8 | 12 |
Another table is categories of these metrics
| Category | Metrics |
| Students | # Students |
| Students | Students Attendance |
| Workforce | Teachers Attendance |
| School | Average Class Size |
I have a slicer in my dashboard which shows Category values.
I want to create a table which shows me ID and the relevant metrics based on the category selection. I am using simple table graph available in Power BI.
If I select Students in my slicer, the table should show - ID, # Students and Students Attendance columns.
Could you help me how to solve this?
Thanks!
Hi harshanand007,
You could unpivot the first table.
Establish a one to many relationship between two tables based on Metrics field.
Then, use a Matrix visual to display data from Table1. Add category column into slicer.
Alternatively, you could try the suggestions in below articles:
