Hello everyone,
I am using a measure to find the total value of a column based on the value specified.
For example,
Total = CALCULATE(SUM('Word TimeSeries'[GSC_Combined_Impressions]), FIND("dahlia", 'Word Snapshot'[Word],1,0)>0)
However, I have 50 product categories for which I want to make the same calculation. So instead of creating 50 measures like the above, is it possible to use a table that will contain all the terms eg dahlia and when that table is filtered using a slicer to use the first value of the column as a value for the FIND formula?
So the measure might look like
Total = CALCULATE(SUM('Word TimeSeries'[GSC_Combined_Impressions]), FIND([FilteredColumnName], 'Word Snapshot'[Word],1,0)>0)
Any ideas on how this can be achieved?
Hope the above makes sense.
Thank you in advance
George
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous,
You can add product categories to a slicer, and then pass the selected item value to your FIND function.
Measure =
var selectedvalue = IF(HASONEFILTER('Product'[Product]),LASTNONBLANK('Product'[Product],1),BLANK())
return CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales]),FIND(selectedvalue,Sales[Product],1,0)>0)

Use FIRSTNONBLANK Function.
Total = CALCULATE(SUM('Word TimeSeries'[GSC_Combined_Impressions]), FIND(FIRSTNONBLANK(table[column], ""), 'Word Snapshot'[Word],1,0)>0)
Hello @vik0810
Thank you for your reply.
I tried this approach before, but unfortunately, it returns an error. The syntax is not correct because the FIRSTNONBLANK is used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression and it is not allowed.
Thank you for your prompt reply and really appreciate your help.

Hello Charlie,
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed.
I need to start working more with variables.
Thank you!
