Calculate Measure base on filter selection

Hi,

 

I've four filters based on that i need to create Measere.

 

Example:

Consider P1,P2,P3& P4 as Filters

 

P1P2P3P4
REDREDREDRED
WHITE WHITE WHITE WHITE 
BLUEBLUEBLUEBLUE
YELLOWYELLOWYELLOWYELLOW
NANANANA

 

Note :

1.User select any priorty

     P1=RED

     P2=WHITE OR YELLOW OR BLUE OR NA

similarly P3 and P4.

Output measure:

ColoursCounts
Red8
white8
Yellow 1
Blue1

 

Advance Thanks,

Saikiran.

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end. 

 

Filters:

Calculated tables:

 

P1 = DISTINCT('Filters'[P1])
P2 = DISTINCT('Filters'[P2])
P3 = DISTINCT('Filters'[P3])
P4 = DISTINCT('Filters'[P4])

 

 

Table:

There is no relationship between tables. You may create a measure as below.

 

Count = 
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(
        DISTINCT(P1[P1]),
        [P1]=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Colors])
    )
)+
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(
        DISTINCT(P2[P2]),
        [P2]=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Colors])
    )
)+
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(
        DISTINCT(P3[P3]),
        [P3]=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Colors])
    )
)+
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(
        DISTINCT(P4[P4]),
        [P4]=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Colors])
    )
)

 

 

Result:

The way I did it was a bit different, I needed a Selection Slicer to Determine which Lines to draw in a LineGraph. I drew one line in the Main Y-Axis and the second line in the Secondary Y-Axis. If there is no selection, blank graph. If "All" is selected it shows both.

 

1. I first created a custom column with the values I am filtering by (In my case it was Density and Sulphur Values)
2. (OPTIONAL) Add an All value in custom column if you desire to show all option
3.  Create a first measure - My Example:

 
SulphurMeasure =
VAR Density_Values = SUM(Hardisty[Absolute Density (kg/m3)]) //Line Value1
VAR Sulphur_Values = SUM(Hardisty[Sulphur (wt%)])                  //Line Value2

VAR SELECTION =
SWITCH
(
    SELECTEDVALUE(Toggle[Toggle]), //Finds the selected value. Toggle[Toggle] is what I am using to filter
    BLANK(), BLANK(),                         //If blank print blank (OPTIONAL)
    "Sulphur (wt%)", Sulphur_Values //If Sulphur, draw sulphur line
    "ALL", Sulphur_Values                   // If All, draw sulphur line (OPTIONAL)
    )
RETURN  SELECTION
 
4. Create a second measure - Basically same but opposite - My Example:
DensityMeasure =
VAR Density_Values = SUM(Hardisty[Absolute Density (kg/m3)]) //Line Data1
VAR Sulphur_Values = SUM(Hardisty[Sulphur (wt%)]//Line Data2

VAR SELECTION =
SWITCH
(
    SELECTEDVALUE(Toggle[Toggle]), //The currently selected value in filter
    BLANK(), BLANK(),                        //If nothing selected show nothing (OPTIONAL)
    "Absolute Density (kg/m3)", Density_Values,    //If Density, draw density
    "ALL", Density_Values                                        //If All, draw density (OPTIONAL)
    )
RETURN  SELECTION
 
5. After you've created the measures, Apply them to the graph, (y-axis & secondary y-axis)
6. Create a Slicer using the custom column from Step 1
 
Hope this helps!

you will need more than just one measure.  you will need one measure per color value.  Use the FILTERS() function to collect the actual values for each filter.
