how to create table Summarizecolumns keep filter context

[parry2k]

Hi there, 

I have a table with following 3 columns and there is a slicer on date and I'm trying to create a calculated table with keeping current filter context from date slicer:

column in my table : Category, date, amount

This is the command I'm trying for calculated table:

Table3 Is Zero = 
 SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(Table3[Category],Filter(Table3,Table3[Amount]=0), "IsData",CountRows(Table3))

What I'm getting in summary table for all the rows from table3 not what is selected on date slicer, how I can keep the filter context from table3.

Any suggestion, or alternate solution  for this.

Hi, i think that is not possible because Datasource & New Tables (From Dax)  is loaded to the data Model and don't be interactive with visuals or measures.

Thanks @Vvelarde

The basic question here is if a calculated table can be created from already filter applied to the source table from slicers?

Assume, a table has data for each day Jan 1 to Dec 31, and date slicer is selcted Mar 1 - Mar 31, can DAX create create calcualted table for that date range selected by slicer.

If you use that function inside a measure the answer is YES. But if want to use to create a new table (Like Summarize or CalculateTable) is not possible.

The calculated table is preprocessed before use slicer visual to filter data. So we are not able to use the checked slicer value in the calculated table. (v-qiuyu-MSFT)

Interesting. Good to know. I thought there is a way to keep filter context when creating calculate/summarizae table.

@parry2k Had a similar issue and found a solution by creating a measure within my summary table that changed its value based on the sum of the rows. For example, I have a table like this for a household survey:

Row	Category
1	Has internet
2	Has telephone
3	Has computer
4	Has washer
5	Has car

Then a measure within the same table table that looks something this:

IF(SUM(ROW)=1,[SUMX expression to summarize households with internet],IF(SUM(ROW)=2,[SUMX expression to summarize households with telephone] etc.

Then I can create any graphic where I plot my measure against the column "Category", and the measure will adjust dynamically to any filters applied.

This is a very basic explanation, but can post a more complete example if that would be helpful.
