You can use selectedvalue() to get the brand or area. https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/using-the-selectedvalue-function-in-dax/
Example
message = VAR _brand = CALCULATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[brand] ) ) VAR _sales = [Sales] //sales measure VAR _area = CALCULATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[area] ) ) VAR _message = _brand & " sale " & _sales & " Percent from " & _area RETURN _message
Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
Appreciate with a kudos 🙂
Hi Anonymous,
I think you need to do some transform in query editor side to create calculation columns to extract specific value form your text statement, then you can simply calculate on these new columns.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSlRIKkrMS1EoTsxJVbC0UAhILUpOzStRUEgrys9VcCzOTFSK1YlWSkJSVqxgYaBQAFUHVuZaWpRfkKqgFBsLAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Test = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Test", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Merged", each Text.Combine(List.ReplaceMatchingItems(Text.Split ([Test], " "),{{"brand", ""},{"Percent", ""},{"percent", "" },{"sale", ","},{"sales", ","},{"from", "," }}))),
#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Added Custom", "Merged", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Brand", "Percent", "Region"}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Brand", type text}, {"Percent", Int64.Type}, {"Region", type text}})
in
#"Changed Type1"
