Measure as Slicer - Workaround?

Hey guys,

 

do you have maybe an idea for a workaround, how a measure could be used as a Slicer?

 

I created a measure called "New MaxStatusas Number 3" that is changing based on the timeline Slicer (values 0,1,2).

 

I would like to create a Slicer, based on this measure, so that I can filter based on (0,1,2). However, I cannot put the measure as slicer.

 

I uploaded the data to OneDrive as well, here is the link:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Many thanks,

 

Adam

Hi @v-juanli-msft 

 

Do you always need to select a filter value for results to appear? I have a similar scenario and created this measure slicer as suggested by you. But when no slicer selection is made, my results are empty. Is it possible to have it such that when no selection is made, it defaults to everything being selected?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous

workaround 1:

add ""New MaxStatusas Number 3" in the Visual level filter, select 0/1/2 in the filter

workaround 2:

1.create a table (enter data), don't connect to any table

2 create a measure 

Measure = IF([new MaxStatusas Number 3]=SELECTEDVALUE(Table1[slicer]),1,0)

3.add measure in the visual level filter, select "1"

add Table1[slicer] in the slicer

This only support single selection.

Hey @v-juanli-msft,

 

many thanks for your fast reply! 

 

I really like your second workaround proposal! Would it be possible to show "green", "red", "yellow" instead of the 0,1,2 in the slicer?

 

I tried to create a new table and rewrite the measure, unfortunately without success...

 

I would really appreciate your help!

 

Many thanks,

 

Adam
