    Hi v-xulin-mstf 

     

    Thanks for your suggestion, very helpful! I`ve tried to use it with the structure of my data and think we`re already very close to what I`m looking for. Please find attached my page based on your solution.

     

    There are basically two things which I still need:

    - How is it possible to select multiple peers at once, say A, B, and C and compare it with our focal company D?

    - Is there an "easy" way to exclude the company selected as focal company in the pool of peers available for comparison? E.g. I first select company D as our focal company and then only A, B, and C should be available for selection.

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hi MSC

     

    Try measure as:

    Measure = 
IF(
    MAX(Data[Company]) IN ALLSELECTED(Company_peers[Peers]) || MAX(Data[Company]) IN ALLSELECTED(Company_focal[Focal]),
    1,
    BLANK()
)

     

    For the second requirement you describe, dynamic filtering of two dimension tables at the same time is not supported.

     

    If you still have some question, please don't hesitate to let me known.‌‌

     

    Best Regards,

    Link

     

    Is that the answer you're looking for? If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution. Really appreciate!

      It's very useful, how do you do this with the scatter chart?

    Hi there Link and all community members!

    In the meantime, I have come across a follow-up question with regard to your/Link`s solution (which works perfectly fine!), I could not find an answer for.

    Please find attached the corresponding

    pbix file and
    excel file (if dataset is needed).

    The demo file has the same underlying model as my original pbix file.

    Basically, I would like to sync the company slicer on the "current report" page with that of the (focal) company slicer on the "new report" page.

    This is because at the moment I have to select the focal company on my benchmarking page (which here is called "suggestion by link" because it follows your/his solution) manually.

     

    Example: I select Danone SA on "current report", then the first slicer on "new report" should also display Danone SA and I should be able to add some peers thereafter.


    Is there a possibility with which this can be solved?

     

    Thank you very much in advance for any help!
