    Hi utsavlexmark,

     

    Yes, Absolutely. You can acheieve this by creating measures and then using them as field parameters by going to 

    Modeling → New parameter → Fields. 
     
    Then Create a pie chart use Campaign type as legends and Field (Parameter) from "Field parameter" table which you just created.

Hi utsavlexmark!

 

Yes, this is possible in Power BI.

The recommended approach is to use a Field Parameter to let the user switch the metric used in the pie chart. Field Parameters are designed for this type of scenario, where report users dynamically change the measure used in a visual through a slicer.

 

Create measures like:
Total Impressions =
SUM ( 'Table'[Impressions] )

Total Clicks =
SUM ( 'Table'[Clicks] )

Cost per Click =
DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Cost] ), SUM ( 'Table'[Clicks] ) )

 

Then create a field parameter from:

Modeling → New parameter → Fields
 

For the pie chart:

Legend = Campaign Type
Values = Metric Field Parameter
 

Then use the generated field parameter slicer as your metric selector. When the user selects Impressions, Clicks, or Cost/Click, the same pie chart will update based on the selected measure.

There are some similar solved/community examples around dynamic visuals and slicer-based switching here:
