Text filter help

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for some help with something I'm struggling with. I am using the text filter visual which uses table 2 phrase as the field. I have created a relationship between Table 1 and Table 2 so that my table visual shows the items when a phrase contains the query term typed in the search box.

 

What I'm trying to achieve is to exclude the item from showing when the phrase searched is the same as the item? E.g. if item1 was searched for then only item2 would display in this case.

 

Table 1

itemcolumn2column3
item1  
item2  
item3  

 

Table 2

itemphrasephrase_volume
item1item1100
item1phrase2500
item1phrase3300
item2item1400
item2phrase5500
item2phrase6600
item3phrase7500
item3phrase8300
item3phrase9400

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @badger123,

 

Similar to rajendran's suggestion, but I would prefer to add a measure to visual level filter.

check1 = IF(SELECTEDVALUE(Table_1[item])=SELECTEDVALUE(Table_2[phrase]),0,1)

HI @badger123

 

You can create a calculated column 

same item phrase = IF('Table1'[item]='Table1'[phrase],1,0)
 
and you can apply a visual filter on this column and set the filter value to 1.
 
Thanks
Raj
