I have a column called duration. I want to create a dynamic what if parameter that a user can change.
Duration column
5’
10’
20
8’
….
If the parameter is set to 10’ and up then its “greater than parameter” or “less than parameter”
i.e.
5 less
10 less
20 greater
8 less
I created a parameter like this:
Then I create a new column:
With my function lookling like this:
lower_or_greater = IF(Parameter[Parameter Value] < 'individual lines csv'[Duration],"Smaller Parameter" , "Greater Parameter")
So this gets me the values Smaller/Greater Parameter like this:
But the problem that im currently having is that, even when I change the slider, it still is defaulted to the 500 default that I had set earlier:
Even with the slider that i put on there, it will not change the location"
Can someone tell me what im doing incorrectly perhaps.
my columns look like this:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
I created a sample pbix file(see attachment), please check whether that is what you want.
Create a measure as below to replace your original calculated column [lower_or_greater]:
Best Regards
@Anonymous Columns are not dynamic based on user input, they are calculated once when created and only recalculated during data refresh.
okay. So to have that feature, i made it into a measure with this:
Now that I have that new measure, i want to bucket the 1's and 0's into a 100% stacked column chart. What can i do after doing this?
or do you see what im trying to accomplish and do you have any other alternatives to what im trying to do ?
@Anonymous In general, to use a measure in that way, you need to use the Disconnected Table Trick as this article demonstrates: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Solving-Attendance-with-the-Disconnected-Table-Trick/ba-p/279563
does that work for what if parameters. and what did you mean by data refresh by any chance ?
