Hi Dharma,

Maybe something like this could work for you:

In Power Query, create two tables referencing your sample data:
1: Your filter table, fetching the column headers using
Table.FromList(Table.ColumnNames(#“Sample Data”)),
and then maybe filtering out ID, Name and other categories you don’t need. Rename the column to Attributes.
2: A version of your sample data, where you unpivot all the filter columns: Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#“Sample Data”, {“ID”, “Name”}, “Attribute”, “Value”)

When loaded to the model, create a relationship between the two tables’ “Attributes” columns

Write the following measure: Count = IF( COUNTROWS(‘Filter’)=1, DISTINCTCOUNT(‘Sample Data Unpivoted’[ID]))

(Edit: Sorry, I was too sloppy… I guess it should have been COUNT(‘Sample Data Unpivoted’[Name]) to replicate your results. But the principle is the same)

You should now hopefully be able to make a table and a slicer:

If not perfect, I hope it may at least help you in the right direction. All the best!
