Create a table that is a subset or another table, using a visual slicer

[timhopson]

Hi, 

I have this table:

OrderSummary =

Company, 

NumberOfOrders,

ValueOfOrders,

TypeOfCompany

I want the user to select the company from a slicer, and display data in a matrix, similar to this...

NumberOfOrders 100

ValueOfOrders £123,456

TypeOfCompany   Insurance

I hoped I could create a calculated table , such as:

FilteredCompany = 

UNION (

ROW ("Field", "Number of Orders", "Value", sum(NumberOfOrders) ),

ROW ("Field", "Value of Orders",  "Value", sum(ValueOfOrders) ),

ROW ("Field", "Type Of Company", "Value", selectedValue(TypeOfCompany, "multiple") )

       )

and then display Field and Value in a matrix.

I have added a slicer to the page, however the FilteredCompany doesn't get filtered. 

Is there a way I can get this data to just show the data selected by the user?

Hi @timhopson ,

Please try create three measures and put them in matrix's values:

then turn on the swith values to rows:

Please check the simple pbix file. It also contains another method.

Calculated tables and columns only update at refresh, so don't respond to slicer changes. Why isn't just using the columns from your original table in the matrix with slicers working?

Hi Pat, 

I want the matrix data to appear as multiple rows, with a single column of figures.

If I drag the columns from my original table, they will become mulitple columns with a single row (if filtered)
