filtering issue

I have a field of 5 item. how do i tie each item to a text or button such that if i click on any it will exclude it from  my selections and change the color?

i can also use listbox if its posible to exclude with it

Create 5 buttons ans variables for values you want to exclude

Set action Set Variable

and in expression right something like

Sum( { < [Department]  = {'*'}-{$(=$(Department01)),$(=$(Department02))}  > } Sales)

This will only complicate things unnecessarily , what are you trying to achieve.

Why not stick with a ListBox with selection style as LED Check box,

Hi,

Please see attached.

Select 1 or multiple items that you want to exclude and then hit the exclude button.

Button > Actions> Add > select excluded > Field = YourFieldName

Hope this helps!

Why i cant use listbox is by default when u select an item it filters based on your selection, what i want is when i select it should exclude the item selected

Clear?

have you tried above solution

You can try this with list box selection:

If(GetSelectedCount(Item) = 0, Sum(Measure), Sum({<Item = e(Item)>}Measure))

Hi Emma,

It should work with a stack as well. See updated app attached.

OK, I am trying to understand the use case here

Making an exclusion from a selected field is going to be a two step Process

1) You make the user select a value to exclude

2) You make the user click on another button to confirm the action(Action > Select Excluded )

Another Approach , Is a Single step process for the USER,   Where user makes only one selection and

you modify expressions to exclude selections, like stalwar1‌  has demonstrated below.

Your choice!!
