Create calculated measure and use it as filter

[joao_costa]

I have a table with transactions and want to count the transactions by country to then group those and then use as a filter.

I got to the transaction count using a measure:

country_count = 

CALCULATE(

    DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[trx_id]),

    ALLSELECTED('Table'[Country]))

My goal is then to group these, say by intervals of 50 up to 200 (then "200+"), and use that as a filter in a slicer.

I am able to use a simple if statement to derive that but then it does not work as a filter in the slicer.

Any ideas on how to solve?

Hi @joao_costa ,

Here's my solution.

1.country_count is measure, and is created as 

country_count = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[trx_id]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Country]=MAX('Table'[Country])))

2.Create a calculated table using dax

Table 2 = GENERATESERIES ( 1, MAXX('Table',[country_count]))

3.Then create a measure, put it in the filter, set show items when the value is 1.

Measure = IF([country_count]<=MAX('Table 2'[Value])&&MIN('Table 2'[Value])<=[country_count],1)

4.The slicer is created using value field from Table 2. No relationship between two tables. The slicer can move the slider to filter.

Created a Calculation Group with Each of your grouping (and the logic) as calculated items. Then use the calc group as your slicer.

 

 

 

The DAX for each item looks like this. I parameterized the bounds so you can use same logic in each item, just change the bounds. Watch out for overlapping items though

VAR _lowerBound = 0
VAR _upperBound = 4
VAR _summary =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'txn'[country] ),
        FILTER (
            SUMMARIZE ( 'txn', 'txn'[country], "_count", DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'txn'[Index] ) ),
            [_count] >= _lowerBound
                && [_count] <= _upperBound
        )
    )
RETURN
  CALCULATE(SELECTEDMEASURE(),  _summary)
