Show a measure next to the dimension in a filter.

[Jarlisle]

I would like to add a measure value next to the dimension in a filter. Use case is: if a user wants to know the impact of what the dimension value has on the visuals it would be nice to have that value in the filter itself.

Example: I have a page showing marketing analytics data and I want to filter by the source, but I want to show the number of pageviews that correspond to the source in the filter and I want the dimension (source) to sort by the number of pageviews. I know this can be done in a table and click on the table value, but I'd like to have it in a filter.

You'd have to pre calculate it into your dimension table as a calculated column in order to use it in a slicer. That won't respond dynamically to other filters though. Apart from that you can't directly include a measure in a slicer.

You're referring to doing that in the source, or are you thinking of doing that in Power Query?

First thought was if you have an existing measure just to add a calculated column but you could build it in PowerQuery or at Source.

I mocked something very simply up:

Created a Products Sold measure:

Products Sold = SUM ( Sales[Quantity] )

Then on the product dimension table added a calculated column with following dax:

Slicer Label = Product[Category] & " (" & [Products Sold] & ")"

You can then get this:

Just be clear that because it's using a calculated column it won't respond to other filters.
