Use a slicer only filter one specific column

Hi, 

 

How do I use a slicer in which it only filters me a specific column? For example have the "study version filter" filter the column of the "Actual" value and have the "reference version" filter the value of the comparison. 

Here's an example:

Best regards

The solution; 

Create two tables: One table with Study Version and other table with Reference version. 

After use this measure [example]:

Measure= SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Scenario'[Study Version]), "Actual", CALCULATE(SUM(FactFinance[STU])), "Actual LY", CALCULATE(SUM(FactFinance[STU]............

Measure= SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Scenario2'[Reference Version]), "Actual", CALCULATE(SUM(FactFinance[REF)), "Actual LY", CALCULATE(SUM(FactFinance[REF]............

Dont know if this a viable solution but can you split out the table into seperate charts/tables/cards and edit the interactions between the filter and the chart? So only that filter, interacts with that specific chart?

Hi @Anonymous

 

You cant filter values just for one column in the visual based on slicer selection. Any contex alteration you can do in the DAX measure. I agree with @Anonymous suggestion on this.

 

Thanks
