Visual level filter based on counted values

I have made a sort of wage-calculator in Power BI - based on income data collected from a online survey.

 

The table in PowerBI consist of columns such as salary, years of education, years of experienxe, managerial level etc etc. Hence there are a lot of possible combinations when you drill down and use several dimensions. 

 

In this wage calculator I wish to prevent that users are allowed to drill down so deep that calculations are based on the data from one single repondent.

 

One of my diagrams is a gauge and there I have visualized the number of respondent (by count). Unfortunately I am not allowed to use this caluculation as a visual filter. What I am trying to do here is to set a minimum of 5 records behind all data labels. That is - no values in any diagram will be shown unless it is based on at least 5 records/oberservations.

 

Would really appreciate some good adwice on how of to deal with this issue.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Sveina ,

 

 

what about using an IF and a COUNT expression?

For example:

Salary new = IF(COUNT(SalaryTable[Respondent])>5,[Salary],BLANK())

This way, the salary will be shown only if there are at least records in the current selection.

 

Let me know if this helps you.

@lc_finance thanks a lot.

 

I worked out with this version (just added an average calculation ahead of the second term)

 

New income = IF(COUNT(Table[Income]) >5;AVERAGE(Table[income]);BLANK())
 
Thanks again, your advice was much appreciated!

Do not hesitate if you have any more questions.
