Slicer Validations

Hi,

I have two slicers: First slicer contains list of colleges and Second slicer contains list of Comparitive colleges. Both the slicers has same list of colleges. You can see the below two slicers: I want to validate the selection of slicers. When I select the colleges from slicer 1 that colleges should be disappear from competitor college slicer or user should not be able to select same colleges. Note: I can select multiple colleges from the both slicers. Can you plz suggest how to validate the it

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please use this measure as the visual-level filter.

 

Measure = 
COUNTROWS (
    EXCEPT (
        VALUES ( 'Competitor College List'[Competitor College List] ),
        VALUES ( CollegeList[CollegeList] )
    )
)

That would create a circular reference. Not something you can do in Power BI.
