Use segment to filter across several columns of the same table

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I have a table with several columns, but 3 are important, let's name them "A", "B" and "C". I have several metrics related to these columns in this table but what matters to me is that "A", "B" and "C" all contain either yes or no, I would like to include on my report a segment that allows filtering by Yes or No for these 3 columns individually, how do I do this? Currently, if I drop these 3 columns into a segment, I only have Yes or No as a drop-down list.

In short, I'd like to have "A", "B", "C" in the same segment and be able to drop down "Yes" or "No" as a filter for each.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

You will have to use the "Unpivot Other Columns" feature in Power Query to tranform those 3 columns into a single one.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Thanks to @amitchandak  for the solution.
Based on your description, the functionality you are trying to achieve is similar to what Field Parameter is trying to demonstrate.
Here some steps that I want to share, you can check them if they suitable for your requirement.
Here is my test data:

Create filed parameter

If you only use the filed parameter, you can manipulate the visual object to control which fields are displayed.

If you want to implement a dropdown box, first you need to create a new column Y/N in the Parameter table

Then put the new column into the slicer you just created.

Create a measure

Measure = SELECTEDVALUE(Parameter[Y/N])

Apply to the table filter

Final output

@Anonymous , Not very clear. But create a table with a one column having two values "Yes" and "No"

Now use that in slicer

now you can have measures like

countrows(filter( Table, Table[A] = selectedvalue(YN[YN])  && Table[B] = selectedvalue(YN[YN])  && Table[C] = selectedvalue(YN[YN]) ) )

You can use OR in place of and

Hello, sorry if my question was unclear. To sum up, I have a table who look like this :

Test_Table = 
SELECTCOLUMNS(
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        GENERATESERIES(1, 5),
        "A", IF(RAND() > 0.5, "Yes", "No"),
        "B", IF(RAND() > 0.5, "Yes", "No"),
        "C", IF(RAND() > 0.5, "Yes", "No"),
        "Metrics1", ROUND(RAND() * 100, 0),
        "Metrics2", ROUND(RAND() * 100, 0)),
    "A", [A],
    "B", [B],
    "C", [C],
    "Metrics1", [Metrics1],
    "Metrics2", [Metrics2]
)

A	B	C	Metrics1	Metrics2
Yes	Yes	Yes	6	55
No	No	Yes	27	4
No	Yes	Yes	65	5
No	No	Yes	64	78
Yes	Yes	Yes	4	28

My goal is to create a filter so that we can filter on a visual of this table the rows that are Yes or No for columns "A", "B", "C".

I didn't know the field parameter function, so I created a filter parameter table with the 3 columns A, B, C with this code : 

Parameter = {
    ("A", NAMEOF('Test_Table'[A]), 0, "Yes"),
    ("B", NAMEOF('Test_Table'[B]), 1, "Yes"),
    ("C", NAMEOF('Test_Table'[C]), 2, "Yes"),
    ("A", NAMEOF('Test_Table'[A]), 0, "No"),
    ("B", NAMEOF('Test_Table'[B]), 1, "No"),
    ("C", NAMEOF('Test_Table'[C]), 2, "No")
    }

I'm super happy because with this, the filter look the way I want, but now I'm struggling to connect that with my Test_Table, even with your code, do I need to create a measure like this ?

Measure = FILTER('Test_Table', 'Test_Table'[A] = SELECTEDVALUE('Parameter'[Value4]) || 'Test_Table'[B] = SELECTEDVALUE('Parameter'[Value4]) ||  'Test_Table'[C] = SELECTEDVALUE('Parameter'[Value4]) = SELECTEDVALUE('Paramètre'[Value4]))

?
Sorry again if my question wasn't clear from the start, and sorry I didn't provide a code to enable reproduction, thanks for the answers which actually helped me move forward I'm super happy about it !
