Slicers using Grouped Data

Hello!

 

I have a dataset based on Commodities that I would like to be able to display data based on the selected group of commodities.

 

For example - I've grouped the below items according to their market

Dairy - cheese, milk, butter, oil

Soda - sugar, aluminum

Currency - USD, Canadian Dollar, Brazilian Dollar

 

I want to be able to have a slicer that, when selected, shows me the items in that grouping only. So if I select Dairy, I want to display cheese, milk, butter, and oil data.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

@jareds,

 

Try this calculated column:

 

Group = 
VAR vItem = Table1[Item]
VAR vResult =
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        vItem IN { "cheese", "milk", "butter", "oil" }, "Dairy",
        vItem IN { "sugar", "aluminum" }, "Soda"
    )
RETURN
    vResult

Create a slicer using the Group column.
