Single-Value Slicer
Please help. How to achieve this? Single-Value Slicer for Minimum Value - where users can input a Minimum Value for the metric selected. This will filter the data to show only values greater than or equal to the specified minimum. The default value for this slicer will be the actual minimum value of the selected metric
Thank you.
Hi Anonymous,
Step 1: Create a Measure for the Minimum Value
Min_Value =
VAR SelectedMetric = SELECTEDVALUE('Metrics'[Metric])
RETURN
CALCULATE(MIN('YourTable'[SelectedMetric]), ALL('YourTable'))Step 2: Create a Parameter Table for User Input
Power BI slicers do not support direct value input, so you'll need a What-If Parameter to allow users to enter a minimum value.
- Go to: Modeling β New Parameter β Numeric Range.
- Set up the parameter:
- Name:
MinThreshold - Data Type: Whole Number (or Decimal based on your data)
- Minimum: Use a small reasonable value (e.g.,
0) - Maximum: Use a large reasonable value (e.g.,
MAX(YourMetricColumn)) - Increment:
1(or any appropriate step size) - Default Value: You can set it later using the measure you created earlier.
- Name:
This creates a table (
MinThreshold) with a column[MinThreshold].Step 3: Create a Measure for Filtering Data
Filter_Measure =
VAR MinInput = SELECTEDVALUE(MinThreshold[MinThreshold])
RETURN
IF( MAX('YourTable'[SelectedMetric]) >= MinInput, 1, 0)Step 4: Apply the Filter to Your Visuals
- Add the
MinThresholdslicer to your report. - Add the
Filter_Measureas a visual-level filter for your table or chart. - Set it to show only values where
Filter_Measure = 1.
Now, when the user selects a value from the slicer, it will filter the data to show only records where the metric is greater than or equal to the selected minimum value.
Step 5: Set Default Slicer Value to the Minimum
Since Power BI slicers do not dynamically adjust to show the minimum value by default, you can pre-select a value close to your actual minimum when setting up the slicer.
To make it more dynamic, consider using a Card Visual to display the actual minimum value (
Min_Valuemeasure) and guide users to adjust the slicer accordingly.π I hope this solution helps you unlock your Power BI potential! If you found it helpful, click 'Mark as Solution' to guide others toward the answers they need.

You can create a numeric range parameter which automatically creates a single value numeric slicer
Modify the parameter value measure it creates by adding the alternative value (minimum) if no value is inputted.
Parameter Value = SELECTEDVALUE('Parameter'[Parameter], [Min Qty])Create a measure that returns only the rows that are >= the slicer value.
Filtered Qty = IF ( SUM ( 'Table'[Quantity] ) >= [Parameter Value], SUM ( 'Table'[Quantity] ) )Please see the attached sample pbix.
If this isn't what you're looking for, please provide a workable sample data (not an image), your expected result from the same sample data and your reasoning behind. Please also read this post: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/m-p/1447523
