Dynamic display names of parameter fields

I created a parameter field to show On Y-axes of a graph:

 

Y-Axis = {
    ("Gross", NAMEOF('FCT_Actual'[_REF Actual - Quantity]), 0),
    ("Budget", NAMEOF('FCT_Budget'[Budget]), 1)
}
 
The measure _REF Actual - Quantity is showing one measure based on a slicer (Gross, Nett)
_REF Actual - Quantity =
 IF (
     HASONEVALUE(Switch_Gross_Nett[Gross Nett]),
     SWITCH(
         VALUES(Switch_Gross_Nett[Gross Nett]),
         "Gross", [_REF Gross Quantity],
         "Nett", [_REF Nett Quantity]
     )
 )
 
The measure works fine
But now If I add the parameter field into graph its showing "Gross"  as display name even when Nett is selected
 
So I thought let add some code to the parameter field to make the name dynamic
 
I only changed the first part
(if(SELECTEDVALUE(Switch_Gross_Nett[Gross Nett])="Gross","Gross","Nett")", NAMEOF('FCT_Actual'[_REF Actual - Quantity]), 0),
 
But its not working. I know an "If-statemnet" works so probably the selectedvalue does not work.
 
Any one any idea how to solve this?

@rjobaan , I used code to show selected value in this blog

https://amitchandak.medium.com/power-bi-field-parameters-a-quick-way-for-dynamic-visuals-fc4095ae9af...

 

What is selected = maxx(filter(‘Axis Slicer’, ‘Axis Slicer’[Axis Slicer Order]= SELECTEDVALUE(‘Axis Slicer’[Axis Slicer Order])),’Axis Slicer’[Axis Slicer])

I tried that, but it does not work

 

i changed (if(SELECTEDVALUE(Switch_Gross_Nett[Gross Nett])="Gross","Gross","Nett")", NAMEOF('FCT_Actual'[_REF Actual - Quantity]), 0),

into

 (if(maxx(filter(Switch_Gross_Nett, Switch_Gross_Nett[Gross Nett]= SELECTEDVALUE(Switch_Gross_Nett[Gross Nett])),Switch_Gross_Nett[Gross Nett])="Gross","Gross","Nett"), NAMEOF('FCT_Actual'[_REF Actual - Quantity], 0)
 
it keeps showing "Nett" even if I change to "Gross"

Hi @rjobaan,

Can you please share a pbix or some dummy data that keep the raw data structure with expected results? It should help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.
