Filter table column by measure value

[costing]

I have a table my_table  below and a measure meas_a which takes on values a, b or c
How can my time series visualisation using col_b (x-axis) and col_c (y-axis) be filtered by col_a = meas_a?

For example, if meas_a = "c", then only the last three rows will be included in the visualisation.

Here's a non-picture version of the above table:

col_a	col_b	col_c
a	1/1/2024	1
a	1/2/2024	2
a	1/3/2024	3
b	1/1/2024	4
b	1/2/2024	5
b	1/3/2024	6
c	1/1/2024	7
c	1/2/2024	8
c	1/3/2024	9

Hi @costing 

Please share sample data in usable format (not an image)

Here you go!

col_a	col_b	col_c
a	1/1/2024	1
a	1/2/2024	2
a	1/3/2024	3
b	1/1/2024	4
b	1/2/2024	5
b	1/3/2024	6
c	1/1/2024	7
c	1/2/2024	8
c	1/3/2024	9

my attempts have been to create new measures for col_b and col_c
For example for col_c

  not_working_meas_c = calculate(my_table[col_c], my_table[col_a] = [meas_a])

However this is incorrect DAX. 

The below does work, but it gives the sum, a single value, whereas I need a value for each row from the filtered table to go into the time series chart:

  unhelpful_meas_c = calculate(sum(my_table[col_c]), my_table[col_a] = [meas_a])

It seems like a very simple use case.  If you know R, the answer would simply be:

  r_meas_c = my_table[col_a == meas_a]$col_c

HI @costing,

Measure expressions are calculated based on their row contents and group. If you want to invoke the specific calculation results in other measure formulas.
It should be better to create variable with summarize function to reproduce the current row contents structures and you can invoke the measure in this variable table.
