Create a measure to use on your card visual like

Measure for card = 1

Create a calculation group with a calculation item for each measure you want to be able to select. The calculation items would check whether the measure for your card visual was active and then simply return the appropriate measure. e.g. your calculation item for revenue would be

IF( ISSELECTEDMEASURE( [Measure for card]), [Total revenue], SELECTEDMEASURE())

You would need to have the calculations already created, but this would allow you to show one measure on a card and have a user decide which calculation to show based on a slicer selection
