Using measure in slicers

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I am new to Power BI, and thanks to the community, I have created a measure to covert two currencies with a fixed rate. Solved: Fixed rate currency conversion to display on matri... - Microsoft Power BI Community

The new question is that after creating the USD meaure, I want to create a filter for my table to choose the amount of USD spent by using a slicer with "between" function. But Power BI does not allow me to use the Amount USD measure as the value of the slicer.

Is there any solution for this kind of appliction? Thank you very much

Hi @Anonymous ,

Measures are not supported in slicer, but you can use it in the visual filter.

Or you can create a calculate column istead of a measure.

Amount USD column = 'Table'[Amount] * IF ( 'Table'[Currency] = "HKD", 7.8, 1 ) 

I attach my sample below for reference.

@Anonymous , Assume you want to shift USD amount or local amount. You need to use an independent table and measure the slicer

Hi @amitchandak, in this case, I only want the slicer to have the USD value. Thanks
