Label for Multiple Dax Measures
Hello PBI Community Good Day!
Looking for a Dynamic Dax Measure I can use with cards for multiple measures.
In the screen shot below I have 8.
In a perfect world I would like to have only 4 that will change with my calculation slicer.
What I'm trying to accomplish:
Currently I have:
4 cards for Trailing Twelve Months (TTM CY, TTM PY (GL) ect...)
and
4 cards for Year to Date ( YTD CY, YTD PY (GL) ect...)
Look for a way to just use 4 cards that will change with my calculation slicer.
Please advise if you need additional information for clarity.
Regards,
You could use a disconnected table for that.
1) Make a table with two values Trailing twelve months and Year to date.
2) Make a slicer using this column
3) Build a dynamic measure that will change depending on the slicer selectionDynamic_Measure_Card1 = --Grab the value from the slicer VAR _SelectedValue = SELECTEDVALUE( 'DisconnectedTable'[Slicer], "Year to date") --Change the calculation based on that value RETURN SWITCH( _SelectedValue, "Year to date", [YTD_Measure], "Trailing twelve months", [TTM_Measure] )
The only problem with this approach is you'll have to create 4 dynamic measures (for the 4 cards)
A more elegant solution would include Calculation Group but this might be too much for what you are trying to accomplish.

Hello Greg GM - much appreciate your quick response.
Looking for a dynamic dax measure that will update the 4 cards based on what I select per my calculation slicer MTD, QTD, YTD and TTM.
The 4 cards in my screen shot are currently showing my calculation slicer selection TTM.
Does this addition information help to deteemine what I'm trying to accomplish?
Will take a look at your link provided.
Thank you!
