    Disconnected slicers are very useful for building conditional measures. They sometimes require very simple tables (ex. two columns and three rows) I'd like to be able to create a simple table in PowerBI instead of referencing a datasource

    Hmm, guess this would be possible using the new Calculated Table feature. See the post from Alberto Ferrari about Transition Matrix on sqlbi.com

    Yeah BdA, I've used that before. It would be nice to have an easier way for less savy users.

    you can actually do this with M code, but granted, this is not very user-friendly. Ex: Table.FromRows({ {1, 3}, {2, 4}}, {"a", "b"})
