Using Filter with Dynamic Axis

Hi

I have used Guy In a Cube's guide to build a dynamic axis on a visual. However, I am unable to apply a filter to that visual. Example: I have a geographical hierarchy with region and country. 

Region

Country

Europe North

Germany

Europe North

Holland

Europe South

France

Europe South

Spain

Europe East

Poland

Europe East

Czech Republic

 

I can easily switch between the region and country view on the visual, but when I apply a slicer for i.e. region with the three values it does not display the selected region. Presumably because there is no link between my un-pivoted dimension table and the real dimension table on region level. Ideally I would select a a region in the slicer and the visual would only show the countries in that region. Is there any way to achieve this?

Bonus info: My unpivoted table has about 1.9mil. rows, so this solution is far from ideal. Data is imported from a HANA view. 

Thanks!

Hi @fibaek ,

 

We can add a new region table and change your measure to meet your requirement.

 

1. Create a region table that has no relationship.

 

Region table = VALUES('Table'[Region])

2. We can create a measure like this,

 

Measure = 
var _selectregion = SELECTEDVALUE('Region table'[Region])
return
if(
    HASONEVALUE('Union Table'[Type]), 
            SWITCH(
                VALUES('Union Table'[Type])
                ,"Country",
                IF(
                    _selectregion="",
                    CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value])
                                    ,TREATAS(VALUES('Union Table'[Country])
                                            ,'Table'[Country])),
                                            CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),TREATAS(VALUES('Union Table'[Country])
                                            ,'Table'[Country]),'Table'[Region]=_selectregion))
                ,"Region",CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value])
                                    ,TREATAS(VALUES('Union Table'[Country])
                                            ,'Table'[Region]))
            )
)

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

Hi,
Thanks a lot! It's working fully as intended. Only small thing was the ability to use 'Table'[Region] in a slicer as well, but I solved that with a relationship between 'Table' and 'Region Table'. Seems to be working even though my region is: Region Table = DISTINCT(VALUES('Table'[Region])).
Your help is highly appreciated.
