Thanks that worked. But, the measure is in Text format. I used convert to change it to integer then the output changed to 123.

    I need to trigger a function app with the filters selected in Power BI as input for the function app. It has month parameter which accepts inputs as 1 or 1,2 or 1,2,3. If I use the above measure( text format) it takes the values as "1,2,3". So, I converted it to integer then it took input as 123.
