Slicer Visualization

Hi All,

 

Is there any work around to use the values passed by the slicer visualization as a parameter in the Measure calculation..?

Like Slicer Year has 2 values 2014 and 2015

When I select 2015 I want to pass the 2015 as a parameter to a function like 

PreviousYear() to get its previous year value dynamically. 

 

Thanks in advance

@Anonymous you can create a measure and use HASONEVALUE and FIRSTNONBLANK in conjunction to achieve this. Check out this example I've provided.

Hi @ankitpatira,

 

That works fine i tried following expression in a measure 

Title = IF(HASONEVALUE(Table[Year]),FIRSTNONBLANK(Table[Year],TRUE),0)

I am getting 2015 or 2014 depending upon my selection

but i want to use it like this

1. CALCULATE(Fact[Revenue],FILTER(Table,Table[Year] = [Title])) as 'Current Year Revenue'

2. CALCULATE(Fact[Revenue],FILTER(Table,Table[Year] = [Title]-1)) as 'Previous Year Revenue'

when i select 2015 in the slicer

1 is coming but there is no data for 2.

did i miss anything?

the chart will display both the measures in value section

Categories: Months

Values: Current Year Revenue

             Previous Year Revenue
