Execute syntax formatted as string
Hi,
I have been looking for a solution to execute syntax saved in a table, formatted as string.
For example:
I have a table with expressions in a column ('Table'[Expression]) where a string value is:
Sum('table'[Column])I would like to call on-, and execute this expression in a measure, for example:
Selectedvalue('table'[Expression])
Naturally it returns the string: Sum('Table'[Column])
How do I get it to execute this?
Your help is much appreciated!

Hi, REWINDER
Can you provide sample data for testing? Sensitive information can be removed in advance. What kind of expected results do you expect? You can also show it with pictures or Excel. I look forward to your response.

Hi v-zhangti,
Thank you for your reply,
I am not sure what is the easiest way to share data, therefor I have put together two tables and the measure example.
Expected outcome: Should the measure in the table return 150000litres for a given filtered FY, this is what I hope tyo achieve with a measure referencing the expression in the MetaData table.
Something like:Selectedvalue('table'[Expression])Metadata measure table
MeasureName Expression
#LitresFuel Sum('Fueltransaction'[Litres])
Table Fueltransaction
Transaction Litres FY23 150000 I hope this helps,
