How can I make Count Filter a list, not a slider?

I'm brand new and no pretty much nothing so bear with me.

 

So I made a measure to track how many times each job posting was in my data. As you can see I added that measure to a table and it works perfectly. I attached a screenshot of how that measure was made. I also made a filter so the table will only display jobs that have more than X amount in the Total Listings measure.I added a screenshot of how I did that.

 

2 things, first off, it doesn't work super well. Say I adjust the slider to be above 20 jobs, some with only 1 or 2 listings will still get through. Also, the main thing, I want the filter to have check boxes that say "20+", "30+", "40+", etc. I don't want it to be a Slider. How can I make the Count Filter work like that instead of a slider?

Hi @JordanSchuld ,

Based on my testing, please try the following methods:

1.Create the simple table.

2.Create the calculated column.

Count Listing = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    [Total listing] >= 40, "40+",
    [Total listing] >= 30, "30+",
    [Total listing] >= 20, "20+",
    "Under 20"
)

3.Drag the column into the slicer visual.

So I tried this, but it shows eveything as Under 20.
Here is my Count Listings:

And here is my table:

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any insight?

Power BI does not support dynamic binning - you need to bring your own buckets (a disconnected table) to feed your slicer.  Then use the measure to sense the value of the slicer  (make sure it is single value select).

I'm going to be honest with you, this is jiberish to me lol. I'm so new to Power Bi it's not funny.
