Hi @pmadam ,

I assume you are trying to take median in this kind of scenario:

Data:

Parameter:

ValtteriN_1-1662965681047.png



Unfortunately it isn't possible to my knowledge use the field parameter value in this way. If possible I would recommend modifying your data a bit. So try something like this:

Unpivot:

And now median:

You can use the attribute column as a slicer.


I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!

@pmadam Hi! you have to change the formula of the Field Parameter, because the function "nameof" returns a string. So, what do you want to do in PmPrince? Do you have some sample data?
