filter table based on selected value using contains
Hi,
I am trying to filter the table in which column of the table contains the selected value(like substring). I am getting the selected value in the card when I select a bin of bar charts and using the same selected value to filter the table but I am getting blank rows.
Here's the bar chart by setting up the filter of Type to T1:
Here's the table data:
so if I click any of the bars of the above chart(e.g clicking "A"), I should get the below results:
I am trying to achieve this by using the below measure:
If(CONTAINS(MAX(category_table[Category]),SELECTEDVALUE(category_table[Category])),1,0)
After this, I'll set this measure to 1 to filter out the table.
Let me what I need to do here or what I am doing wrong.
Hi, Anonymous
You can try the following methods.
Table 2 = CALCULATETABLE( SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Category],'Table'[Value]),FILTER('Table',[Type]="T1"))The view on the left is obtained from Table 2. Other settings remain unchanged.
This is the relevant document, hope to help you:

Hi, Anonymous
Please check the following methods.
Measure = IFERROR(SEARCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Category[Category]),SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Category])),-1)Put Measure in Fliters and set not equal to -1.
Is this the result you expect?

Is the data source for your column chart a disconnected table?

Please provide sanitized sample data that fully covers your issue. If you paste the data into a table in your post or use one of the file services it will be easier to work with. Please show the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided.

Hi,
In the Data Table itself, you should have a Master Category column with values of A,B,C and D. Now create your visual/slicers.
Ashish_Mathur I don't have the Master Column with values of A,B,C,D.

So if they are in another table then one can always bring them over into your table by using the RELATED() or LOOKUPVALUE() funcion.
