If a certain filter is applied return 1, if a different filter is applied return 2

[JGARROD]

HI, 

I have a column within a tbale that contins 3 distinct values Red, Green, Blue across 1500 rows. 

I need a dax measure that i can apply to a card that when the table is filtered on Red returns the number 1, when it is filtered on blue returns the number 2 and green returns the number 3. 

Is this possible and if so how?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Expected result measure: =
SWITCH (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Category[Color] ),
    "Red", 1,
    "Blue", 2,
    "Green", 3,
    "select one color"
)

Try this 

Colour number =

SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Colour]),

"Red",1,

"Blue",2,

"Green",3

)

Thanks for reaching out for help.

If you give someone a fish then you only give them one meal, but if you teach them how to fish then they can feed themselves and teach others for a lifetime.  I prefer to teach members on this forum techniques rather give full solutions and do their job.
