Hello,
I am trying to use the value selected from a slicer (based off an unrelated dimension table) to get the column name for the main table.
So my main data table looks as follows:
| Category | Subcategory | FY | Spend |
| CatA | SubcatA | FY2022 | 1 |
| CatB | SubcatB | FY2021 | 10 |
| CatC | SubcatB | FY2020 | 20 |
| CatA | SubcatC | FY2020 | 30 |
I then unpivoted all the columns to get the following DimAttribute table:
| Attribute | Value |
| Category | CatA |
| Category | CatB |
| Category | CatC |
| Subcategory | SubcatA |
| Subcategory | SubcatB |
| Subcategory | SubcatC |
| FY | FY2020 |
| FY | FY2021 |
| FY | FY2022 |
I am using a slicer on the Attribute column within the DimAttribute table for my row header in my matrix visual, but to be able to get my "value" or total spend, I need to do a sum of the Spend column. For that I'd need to get the sum([Spend]) over the selectedvalue(DimAttribute[Attribute]). In other words, if my attribute slicer value = "Category", how could I define - sum([Spend]) over Category (considering the DimAttribute and the main table aren't related)? Would anyone be able to help?
Thank you so much!
