    Hi Benjamin123 ,

     

    You will need to create an independent version table as slicer.

    Variance = CALCULATE(sum(DataFlip[Value]),filter(DataFlip,DataFlip[Version]in values(slicer[version])))

    If I misunderstood your meaning, please show some sample data and expected result.

     

    Best Regards,

Benjamin123 , If you need a measure as slicer, You need create an independent table with all possible values or based on range.

 

find the example of range. In case of each value, you need to have all values and = join with an independent table

Hey amitchandak thanks alot for the reply! 

 

Apologies but I don't think I explained myself very well... I am using the following to create a variance, however I am using a slicer on the report which I would like to overide the latter part of the formula (P8 Latest View)

 

Variance = -CALCULATE(sum(DataFlip[Value]),KEEPFILTERS(DataFlip[Version]="Latest View"))+CALCULATE(sum(DataFlip[Value]),KEEPFILTERS(DataFlip[Version]="P8 Latest View"))
 
The data table used has the following columns in use here: 
- Version ("Latest View")
- Value (Cost)
 
We have multiple versions and a slicer to select which one we want to look at versus the "Latest View". I want variance calculation to be able to use the Slicer value selected ("P8 Latest View" etc.). 
 

 

Is there a way to change this part of the formula to select the value from the filter that isnot "Latest View"?
