a better method to solve this

Hi! I'm fairly new to using Power BISo I downloaded this data set from kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/krishd123/olympics-legacy-1896-2020 , and i am trying to show the gold winners and the year they won for Basketball at Summer Olympic games, for each event type. I approached this using a table visualization, selecting Name, Event and Year as the columns and filtering the visual ("Basketball" for the "Sport" filter, "Summer" for the "Season" filter, and "Gold" for the "Medal" filter. 

Is there a more effective method to approach this problem?

    Hi RoxanaZaharia ,

     

    If you don't want to show up in a visual, you can create a table.

    Table = SELECTCOLUMNS( FILTER('all_athlete_games',[Sport]="Basketball" && [Season]="Summer" && [Medal]="Gold"),"Name",[Name],"Event",[Event],"Year",[Year])

    If you don't want to filter using the filter pane, you can create a slicer.

    Hi,

    What is your expectation for "more effective"? You could do a hard-coded filter but that would limit your choices to only the filters you mentioned.
