Use filter to exclude

[rkouwenhoven]

I'm having a problem to exclude rows based on a slicer. I've read other topics but none of them solves the issue.

I want to exclude rows in an order table based on Client_id. I have a seperate table with "Client views". In these specific views you can exclude the Client_id or show the client_id. See example below. 

When using a slicer and select for example view_id 1, it shows all the orders with clients A and B. 

When selecting view_id 3 in the slicer I want to see all orders except for clients B and E. Anybody able to assist?

hi @rkouwenhoven ,

Please check following steps as below:

1. Create Measure =

               var s_h = MAX(Table1[show_hide])

               return

               IF(s_h = "1" &&

                   MAX(Table2[client_name]) in VALUES(Table1[client_name]),

                   1,

                   IF(s_h = "0"&&

                       NOT(MAX(Table2[client_name])) in VALUES(Table1[client_name]),

                       1,

                       BLANK()))

2. Filters on visual measure is not blank.

Results would be shown as below:

BTW, PBIX file as attached, hopefully works for you.

@v-jayw-msft ,

I can't seem to get this reproduced. I followed your steps but the measure is not allowed as a filter, neither as a value in the visual. it gives me a failure message. Do I need to have a specific relationship between the 2 tables?

@v-jayw-msft ,

After some testing it is doing the magic. The 0 and 1 were set up as a whole number in the table but had to change it to a text field. No relation in tables, so now it is working.

Thanks a lot for your help.
