Need help in DAX for Table Filter

I have a table in power bi and I am trying to filter it using some column value.

 

I want to make the filter as dynamic as possible which means that I need a dax which filters the table using different columns based on the value of slicer (disconnected).

 

Please help me .

 

I have already written a DAX for FIltered Table.

 

FilteredTransformedData =
Var IndSlicer = IF(COUNTROWS(VALUES(Table5[Slicer]))=1, VALUES(Table5[Slicer]), TRUE())
RETURN FILTER(All('Transformed Data'), IF(Exact(IndSlicer,"Top10"),'Transformed Data'[group/Top10],IF(IndSlicer<>"",'Transformed Data'[group/Bottom10],true)))

 

Here , IndSlicer is always giving blank rows despite I am selecting the Slicer value.

 

I am not sure what is wrong here. Could anyone help me in this .

 

Regards,

Priyam

What @dkay84_PowerBI suggested make sense but if you want to stick with your requirement, here is the solution which I think will work:

 

In your slicer table, add a calculated column to find out which column we want to filter, in case of Option 3 selected in filter, we are not filtering on any column

 

Which Column to Filter = 
 if(Table2[Slicer]=1, "Column1", if(Table2[Slicer]=2, "Column2", ""))

Now add Measure in your slicer table, to check what value is selected on the slicer and then get the column value, in case option 3 or no value is selected then get Blank value otherwise get column name from previous calculated column we added to the slicer table

 

Which Slicer Option is Selected = IF(HASONEVALUE(Table2[Slicer]) = FALSE || VALUES(Table2[Slicer])=3, BLANK(), VALUES(Table2[Which Column to Filter]))

Now, go to your data table and add following measure, this is where you will put the logic (if statement):

 

What values to Filter = if([Which Slicer Option is Selected]=BLANK(),1, if([Which Slicer Option is Selected] = "Column1" && MAX(Table1[Column1])="C1", 1, if([Which Slicer Option is Selected]="Column2" && MAX(Table1[Column2])="D1",1, 2)))

Add this newly calculated measure from your data table to Visual Level Filters and under advance filter, select value is 1, as listed below.

Drop a table with your columns in it from data table, now when you select the value in the slicer, your table will filter based on selection.

 

I hope it will do the job, if you need pbix file, send me a private message with your email and I will send it over to you.
