DAX SWITCH + SELECTEDVALUE()

Hello everyone! I'm struggling to solve a problem with a measure.

 

I'm using the wonderful resource of SWITCH + SELECTEDVALUE, but what happens when I need to perform a division, say, GMV/Orders. In the following case: ATV=GMV/Orders. 

 

VAR MySelection =
SELECTEDVALUE ('De-para'[Grouping])
VAR Mysubselection=SELECTEDVALUE(All_Data[KPI])
RETURN
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
MySelection="GMV",CALCULATE(sum(All_Data[Value]),All_Data[Grouping.1]="GMV")/1000000,
MySelection = "Orders",[Orders],
MySelection = "ATV",[ATV])
 
The disconnected table which contains the field Grouping.1 is the following:
 
KPI    Grouping.1
GMV            GMV
Orders         Orders
ATV              ATV
Discounts    DME
Mkt             DME
 
When I build the table I need, the KPI "ATV" shows the same data for every kpi, as if it wouldn't recognize the attribute as a table attribute. 
 
Any help? I need to solve this asap 😞
Thks in advance!

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    You need another Measure to calculate the value of GMV/Orders, then use it in current Measure .

    ATV =
VAR GMV_ =
    CALCULATE ( [GMV], ALL ( All_Data ) )   //[GMV] is a measure that sum the value of GMV
VAR Orders_ =
    CALCULATE ( [Orders], ALL ( All_Data ) )   //[Orders] is a measure that sum the value of Orders
RETURN
    IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( All_Data[Grouping.1] ) = "ATV", GMV_ / Orders_, BLANK () )

     

    division =
VAR MySelection =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'De-para'[Grouping] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        MySelection = "GMV", [GMV] / 1000000,   //[GMV] is a measure that sum the value of GMV
        MySelection = "Orders", [Orders],   //[Orders] is a measure that sum the value of Orders
        MySelection = "ATV", [ATV]
    )

     

    Then, the result should look like this.

     

    Also, attached the pbix file as reference.

    I don't quite understand the question. What are you expecting to happen when you "perform a division"? How is this division related to your switch measure?
