FIELD PARAMETERS or CALCULATION GROUPS?
Both are used to dynamicaly change fields/measures in your report/visual.
I would recommend to start with Field Parameters, as far as:
My favourite tutorial video for this topic by @AlbertoFerrari : Fields parameters in Power BI
Just one problem: how to pass selected measure as variable for another measure?
Example:
I have two almost identical measures:
YTD Sales = CALCULATE([Sales], DATESYTD('Calendar'[DateKey]))
and
YTD Quantity = CALCULATE([Quantity], DATESYTD('Calendar'[DateKey]))
But I want to reduce amount of measures and use something like
YTD = CALCULATE([Melected], DATESYTD('Calendar'[DateKey]))
//[Melected] - Measure sELECTED
// - measure that could be equal [Sales] or [Quantity] depending on our slicer single choice/election
Here is amazing video by @pleblanc dedicated to this topic:

Question: is it possible to get SELECTEDMEASURE() functionality without Tabular Editor?
Answer: Yes
Details: Desired functionality:
How To, a 5-step guide (the initial two steps being the focus of this article)
1) Let's create _MeasureSelected table and use it's [Melected Name] column as single choice slicer in our report:
2) Create [Melected] measure, that will be equal [Sales] or [Quantity] based on [Melected Name] slicer single choice:
3) Create [Melected] dependent measures like:
4) Create Field Parameter with list of measures:
5) Create matrix and Enjoy result
