Parameter Switch - Not sure how to complete to get the output I would like to see in a visual

Hello All,

I have been working on a visual problem for a couple days now and am not sure how to go about setting up a parameter to switch based on sales $ and sales Units for mutiple measure calculations.

Essentially what I am looking to do is to be able to have end users, on our weekly sales dashboard, to be able to flip the matrix tables with these measure calculations in them from sales $ to sales units as they see fit.

I have created seperate measures for each but just can't get a parameter switch to work to change values of $ to units.

e.g. - POS TW TY $ and POS TW TY Units

e.g. - POS LW TY $ and POS LW TY Units

Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Still only 5 months into power BI builds so still learning ins and outs.

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

I suggest trying Field Parameter feature in Power BI.
