Synchronize chart hierarchy level selector with separate slicer

Hi folks,

 

Can someone please advise how I can synchronize the chart hierarchy selection with a separate slicer?

At this point I have a selector that controls a different aspect of the chart (separate code for the values calculation) and the output must be in sync with the hierachy level. Without this functionality a user has to make appropriate selections in both the chart visual heireachy and in the selector. This is a clumsy ux, to say the least.

 

I trust that this can be done, but I could not find any proper reference to it anywhere.
I would prefer that my slicer controls the visual hierarcy in the chart, but I would be OK with the visual passing the selected visual level, which then I can use it as a slicer value for my code snippets.

 

Thank you in advance,

Eugen

Is your Size slicer populated from a small table with just 'Daily', 'Weekly', 'Monthly' in it?  If so you might be able to make a bands table that would look something like this.

Size Band
Daily 0-15
Daily 15-30
Daily 30-45
Daily 45-60
Daily 60-75
Weekly 0-50
Weekly 50-100
Weekly 100-150
Weekly 150-200
Weekly 200-250
Monthly 0-500
Monthly 500-1000
Monthly 1000-1500
Monthly 1500-2000
Monthly 2000-2500

Then you put the Band from this table in your chart and link it into your model.  You could also just use the band from the table above in your slicer and switch your calc based on the selection made, something like this.

Display Amount =
VAR _Size =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Bands'[Size] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        _Size,
        "Daily", [Daily Measure],
        "Weekly", [Weekly Measure],
        "Monthly", [Montly Measure]
    )

@eugenm yes you can, you can use ISINSCOPE function.

EUREKA!
ISINSCOPE worked. I've ended up consolidating the Banding Tables into one and created a hierachical Month > Week > Day structure that I then used in a modified switch measure. It works perfectly. 
I now deleted my separate band tables and the band slicer - clean and it's working.

Quite a shame that I can't do it via a slicer as I find the hierachical switched at the top of the chart very non user friendly. Not perfect, but perfectly functional.
Thank you again, Parry!

Accepting this as a solution as well, because the switch that I already had was using such structure.
The banding table had to be different, as the value ranges overlapped.
But using the ISINSCOPE and THIS guide it all worked out well. Done and done! Thanks

The 3 tables are actually banding tables with the additional ranges defined. The ranges are overlapping, which is why I have them separated. See HERE. So, I'm not sure the proposed solution would work. Is there any way to tweak it? I like your idea.

You should be able to do something like this where the index is adjusted so the sort order works but is still unique.  Then your banding calcs would just have to also look at the size column and not just the min and max.

I basically had to create set by having 3 sets of columns for Daily, Weekly and Monthly (Band_Day, Min_Day, Max_Day and same for weekly/monthly). Just in case someone will find this useful.

@eugenm I don't think it is possible but there are workarounds for dynamic x-axis which can change based on your selection. You can also look at my post on mixing granularities and tweak it as per your need but there is no way to auto drill up/down based on the selection.

I certainly look at your blog post, thanks.

If using the filter to control the hierarchy display level in the chart is not an option, is there any option to pass the hierarchy level from the chart - same as you would from a slicer?

@eugenm not sure I followed your question, can you share some screenshots and explain?

Hi Perry, 

 

Please see the details HERE 

I basically have 3 levels of banding with a slicer that dictates which banding calculation is used (band size calculation). I would like for it to also switch the chart's hierachical level to the respective bands, which selects the bands displayed. Without such sync I get no data or weird out of sync charts.
