detatched slicer key and filtering issue

Hi everyone.

I am building my first detatched slicer key table.

Pmorg73_0-1618867603570.png

simple data model view above. its currently a small data table but I will expand it once working properly.

 

The table I have built takes the floor area of a house and splits in to the following

I then have this measure to group

 

Size =
var _area = 'house drill'[Area]
return

if(HASONEVALUE('Size Slicer'[Size]),
SWITCH(TRUE(),
VALUES( 'Size Slicer'[Key] )=1 && _area<210, _area ,
VALUES( 'Size Slicer'[Key] )=2 && _area>210 &&_area<=350, _area ,
VALUES( 'Size Slicer'[Key] )=3 && _area>350 && _area<=600, _area ,
VALUES( 'Size Slicer'[Key] )=4 && _area>600, _area) ,
IF(BLANK(), BLANK(), _area ) // this is if nothing is clicked but excludes blank
)
 
I got the idea from ruth's last video at Curbal, so kudos to Ruth.
 
So when applied to a page it filters my main table of values but not the cards on the right of the image below.

Q:

I am trying to use the slicer to then filter a calculation of the average billable amount column divided by the area.

I used a calculated column to divide these two data columns. Then have a measure to sum the resulting calc column.

 

When I click the "Size" detached key it filters the main table but it is ignored in the sum and average measures.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Share a small dataset that can be pasted in MS Excel (or a link from where your PBI file can be downloaded) and show the exact expected result.

sliced page. The Size slicer is the detached table. It slices the main table but not my cards

I am trying to work out the average. the data is individual time entries on each job. I then sum those up. Divide that by the floor area for the measure "Sum Billable per m". I have used calculated columns in this process.

 

I then count the job number rows and do a divide to work out the average.

 

Note there is a manual table called "Complexity". I am trying to develop it so that we do not use this any more. It is a manual list of job numbers, so would not be dynamic. included to show everything though.

 

So my query is this. What do I need to change so that the "size" slicer also correctly changes the count? This will then alter the average calc by default. If you use the size slicer you will see it only changes the main table.

Many thanks, will drill in a work out what you did. The next thing I was going to try was calculations with filters, which I think would be on the road to what you have done. I have only just scratched the measures you created though.

 

Many many thanks
