Summarized slicer

In the Slicer Advice it mentions the following limittaions :- 

 

The numeric range slicer filters every underlying row in the data, not any aggregated value.

 

Is there a way around this using DAX ? 

 

In this example  I wish the range to be from 1 to 649021, and for Mar_Desc to be filtered based on the summarized  All_Quotes value.

 

Thank you

    Hi richard_wylde 

    For finishing this post,  we need to mark an answer as a sloution.

    So here I will copy my answer in  Dimensions filtered by summarized measure values and mark it as a solution.

    I use measure to achieve your goal.

    Measure1:

     

    Measure1 = CALCULATE(SUM(Query1[All Quotes]),FILTER(ALL(Query1),Query1[Mar_Desc]=MAX(Query1[Mar_Desc])))

     

    Measure2:

     

    Measure2 =
    
    IF( [Measure1]<= MAX(Query1[Rank by category]),[Measure1],BLANK())

     

    We build a new table visual by Mar_Desc and Measure2. Then select 231830 in Slicer.

    Result is as below:

    Hi richard_wylde 

    Here I have some advice. If you want to use the slicer range to be from 1 to 649021, you may try to use index column to build a slicer.

    And I try to build two calculated columns to build slicers.

     

    sum = CALCULATE(SUM(Query1[All Quotes]),FILTER(ALL(Query1),Query1[Mar_Desc]=EARLIER(Query1[Mar_Desc])))
    Rank by category = RANKX(FILTER(Query1,Query1[Mar_Desc]=EARLIER(Query1[Mar_Desc])),Query1[Index],,ASC)

     

    Result:

    Rank by category will build a rank for each category in Macr_Desc column.

    Sum will show the summarize for each category in Macr_Desc column.

    If this reply still couldn’t help you to solve the problem, please provide me more details or show me the result visual you want.

      Thanks Anonymous  - that's great !  ( I was previously told this couldn't be done)

       

      The only addition I need to make is if the All_Quotes are less than the Rank_By Category I need them to disappear rather than reduce in size,  so in this example  rank_by_category = 231830, I would need Married & Single to disappear, is this easily done ?

       

      Many thanks for you help
