Set default data based on specific rule filter

Hi all,

I have table :

 

Table_A

ClientTypeCategoryValue
Client A  A  AA10
Client B  B  AA15
Client B  A  AB8
Client C  C  AC5
Client A  D  AB13
Client D  E  AD4
Client E  F  AE7

 

Table_B ( duplicate from Table_A, remove other column except column Type, and set only specific Type )

Type
  B
  C
  E

Table_A & Table_B have relationship many to one based on column Type

 

For visual I want to add slicer for column Type ( Multiselect ) and chart data based on Category. 
Slicer Type ( from Table_A )

------------

A

B

C

D

E

F

 

I have measure in Table_A to detect slicer Type when selected ( True / False ).

Filtered Type = CALCULATE(ISFILTERED(Table_A[Type]), ALLSELECTED(Table_A[Type]))

 

How to create a measure based on measure I've made,
when slicer Type is not selected, chart data only show default data based on all type in Table_B, 

and when slicer Type is selected single or multiple, chart data show based on selected.

 

Any Suggestion?

After trying several times,


when using your measure, it's actually correct. but there is a little bug when using isfiltered. isfiltered will return true when nothing is selected (don't know how).


I finally combined your measure with measure I've made and make some changes.

 

Measure : 

 

Filtered Type =
IF(
CALCULATE(ISFILTERED(Table_A[Type]), ALLSELECTED(Table_A[Type])),
CALCULATE(SUM(Table_A[Value]),
ALLSELECTED(Table_A[Type])
),
CALCULATE(SUM(Table_A[Value]),
FILTER(Table_A, Table_A[Type] in ALLSELECTED(Table_B[Type]) )
)
)
 
Thanks @amitchandak

@gzai , Try a measure like


Filtered Type = if(ISFILTERED(Table_A[Type]) , CALCULATE(count(Table_A[Type]), ALLSELECTED(Table_A[Type])) ,
CALCULATE(count(Table_A[Type]), filter(Table_A , Table_A[Type] in Table_B[Type])))

Hi @amitchandak ,

 

I have tried measure

Filtered Type = if(ISFILTERED(Table_A[Type]) , CALCULATE(count(Table_A[Type]), ALLSELECTED(Table_A[Type])) ,
CALCULATE(count(Table_A[Type]), filter(Table_A , Table_A[Type] in Table_B[Type])))


error "A single value for column 'Type' in table 'Table_B' cannot be determined. ..."

@gzai , Try like

Filtered Type = if(ISFILTERED(Table_A[Type]) , CALCULATE(count(Table_A[Type]), ALLSELECTED(Table_A[Type])) ,
CALCULATE(count(Table_A[Type]), filter(Table_A , Table_A[Type] in allselected(Table_B[Type]))) )

@amitchandak measure no error, but it seems for else logic is not correct.

Visual chart when no selected filter :
Total Value = 62 ( 10 (A) + 15 (B) + 8 (A) + 5 (C) + 13 (D) + 4 (E) + 7 (F) )

expected results when no selected filter :

Total Value = 24 ( 15 (B) + 5 (C) + 4 (E) )
