Hello Powerbi community,
I need some help with advanced filtering. I created a small example. When I filter on Bananas I do not only want to see
A, B and D I also want to see A bought 5 peaches just like B bought 4 peaches. When filtering on Apples I want to see C bought 4 buth also bought 2 peaches.
So when filtering on a certain fruit I also want to see the other fruits that might be bought by A B C or D.
Bananas Apples Peaches
A 4 0 5
B 3 0 4
C 0 4 2
D 2 0 0
Which advanced filtering is needed to achieve this? thanks for your help!

Hi @Stevianne ,
Extract the fruit column as a single calculated table and use it as a the slicer:
Fruit = DISTINCT('Table'[Fruit])
Create a measure like this:
_count =
VAR tab =
FILTER (
'Table',
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Count] ),
FILTER (
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Category] ),
'Table'[Fruit] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Fruit[Fruit] )
)
) > 0
)
RETURN
SUMX (
FILTER (
tab,
[Category]
IN DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Category] )
&& [Fruit] IN DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Fruit] )
),
[Count]
)

@Stevianne , first of all, these fruits need to be in rows. means you need you have un pivoted dhttps://radacad.com/pivot-and-unpivot-with-power-bi
You need independent fruit table
fruit = distinct(Table[fruit])
Then a measure like
measure =
var _user = summarize(filter(Table, Table[Fruit] in allselected(Fruit[Fruit])), Table[User])
return
calculate(sum(Table[Qty]), filter(Table, Table[User] in _user))
Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. I tried your option. I'am I right you create
- table for fruit (apples, bananas, peaches)
- table for user (A,B,C and D)
- table with quantity? (how to creatie this one?)
for me it would be helpfull if you are able to make an example in PBI, is that possible?
thanks a lot so far!

Hi,
I apllied the measure you created. Thanks it was very helpfull. Next step I want to make is to apply this measure "_count" in a table. I want to measure the % of the total.
total_sum__count = Sum(_count) (I can't create this measure)
%total = _count divide total_sum__count
Do you have any ideas how to solve this?
