Hi,
I would like to create a measure that is based on filter selection.
Here's an example:
I am using two filters – ‘Area – South’ filter is for ‘SOUTH’ visual(edited filter interaction)
‘Area – North’ filter is for ‘NORTH’ visual.
Problem: I am using measures for location count & sum of male & female.
The measure doesn’t work when I select the filters (see image) .
I want the measure to calculate according to the filter selection. In the below scenario I want the measure to show LocationCount =2 , SumMale = 94 , SumFemale = 67.
I have attached the sample pbix as well . Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Solved! Go to Solution.
@SR1,
You may turn Single Select to Off to allow selecting multiple items.
Can not access this file. is there a solution to this problem?
My suggestion would be to create two calculated tables from your DataTable representing North and South locations.
I named them 'North Filter' and 'South Filter'.
You can achieve this with:
North Filter = all('DataTable'[LocationId];'DataTable'[Location])
South Filter = all('DataTable'[LocationId];'DataTable'[Location])
I would than create for each calculated table, one inactive relationships with DataTable.
After that create the following measures:
Location Count= COUNTROWS ( SUMMARIZE ( UNION ( 'North Filter', 'South Filter' ), [LocationId] ) )
This will give you all the distinct locations selected.
You can create also:
North Count=
CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'DataTable' ), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'DataTable'[LocationId], 'North Filter'[LocationId] ) )
This measure will count only the locations selected on the North Filter. I'm assuming that when nothing is selected the user wants ALL.
If you setup a table visual whith a filter on this last measure for only values greater than zero, you'll get the North information.
The same thing should be done for South.
Other measures created are:
North Female= CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'DataTable'[Female] ), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'DataTable'[LocationId], 'North Filter'[LocationId] ) ) North Male= CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'DataTable'[Male] ), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'DataTable'[LocationId], 'North Filter'[LocationId] ) ) South Female CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'DataTable'[Female] ), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'DataTable'[LocationId], 'South Filter'[LocationId] ) ) South Male= CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'DataTable'[Male] ), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'DataTable'[LocationId], 'South Filter'[LocationId] ) )
Finaly, measures for the Totals are created:
Total Female = [North Female] + [South Female] Total Male = [North Male] + [South Male]

@SR1,
You may turn Single Select to Off to allow selecting multiple items.
It's due to South visuals interacting and filtering North visuals and vice versa. See below link to fix

Hi @Anonymous I am having the same problem even after changing the North & South visual interaction.
Ah ok I understand what you're tryig to do now. Simply put its not possible the way you're trying to do it.
There are 2 slicers but both refer to the same column. Thats why a count can't be created when you have 2 different selections from 2 different slicers on the same column. You'd be better off doing something like this
User | Count |
---|---|
125 | |
106 | |
99 | |
63 | |
62 |
User | Count |
---|---|
135 | |
116 | |
101 | |
71 | |
61 |
