If a certain filter is applied return 1, if a different filter is applied return 2

JGARROD — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 09:11:38 GMT

HI,

I have a column within a tbale that contins 3 distinct values Red, Green, Blue across 1500 rows.

I need a dax measure that i can apply to a card that when the table is filtered on Red returns the number 1, when it is filtered on blue returns the number 2 and green returns the number 3.

Is this possible and if so how?

Thanks in advance!

Jack

Try this

Colour number =

SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Colour]),

"Red",1,

"Blue",2,

"Green",3

)

One question per ticket please. If you need to extend your request then please raise a new ticket.

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Expected result measure: = SWITCH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Category[Color] ), "Red", 1, "Blue", 2, "Green", 3, "select one color" )
