Active relationship based on Slicer

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

I have a slicer which has 4 rows these as follows:

Slicer:

1) This  month

2)Last Year

3) This year

4) Prev month

and in another table I have  columns like this 

 Country, State, This  month, Last Year, This year, Prev month

So i have modeled the data like 

(first table   )This  month--> This  month (Second Table)

and Last Year -->Last Year  and 

This year -->This year  and 

Prev month--> Prev month

  Since a table can have only one active relationship This month--> This month is active.

Can I make Active relation based on the slicer 

For Example: If I select "Prior Year" all data must be filtered to prior year ...etc 

Thanks

@Anonymous unfortunaltey you cannot change active relationship on selection but in your dax measure you can use userrelationship function to make other function active based on selection.

Table 1

Id	Selection
1	This month
1	This year
2	Prev MOnth
2	Last Year

Table 2

State	Country	Id	This month	This Year	Prev Month	Last Year	Customer	DOB

I modeled 2 tables  as follows:

Table 1 "Selection colum " -->  This month

"Selection colum " -->  This year (Active relation ship)

"Selection colum " -->  Prev month (Non-Active relation ship)

"Selection colum " -->  Last year ( non- Active relation ship)

Since a table has only 1 active relation, "Selection column " -->  This month is  active

 now in report, I am using Table 1 "Selection" as a slicer,

and it will display as  

This month

This year

Prev Month

Last Year

If I select  "this month" in table 1 it should map to "this month"  column in table 2 and data must be filtered 

if I select "This year " in table 1 it should map to "This year " column in table 2 and data must be filtered 

...

Hope this is clear.

Thanks

@Anonymous you need to unpivot table b and then set the relationship between both the table, after that it will work as expected.

To unpivot, select all column table b excep (those four columns) and right click after selection and clicking unpivot other column, it will give you two column attribute and value (change column name as per your need)

Now set relationship between table 2 with table 1 on attribute and selection.

Now if you filter from selection, you table2 will show respective values.

My data is very huge, Cannot unpivot, is there any other way.?

@Anonymous i think yes it can be done with other method, I have to make a solution, hard to explain if you can share sample data in excel thru one drive/google drive, i will try to get back to you. cheers!!

Can I create user relationship  like a custom column instead of measure, because If I use to measure  data is changing  as My selection criteria by remaining slicers' data is not getting  filtered .

Any Alternate approach to a situation like this?

@Anonymous userrelationship can be only used in measure. I exactly not sure whst you are trying to achieve, if you share sample data and what result you are looking for, it will help to see if there is alternate solution.
