Nested Measure Selection in Field Parameter
I would like to be able to switch between cacluated measure in a matrix visual based on 2 selections.
The first selects the overall catagory of measure - Labor, Material, ...
The second selects the type of measure - % of Cost, Total Cost, etc...
I have nicely created a Field Parameter to select 1 Measure based on the selection (below) .. Works perfect...
Cost Category Selection = {
("Labor", NAMEOF('Table'[% of Labor]), 0),
("Material", NAMEOF(Table[% of Material]), 1),
…
…
…
}
Where the measure are defined:
% of Labor = DIVIDE(Table[Labor Cost],Table[Total Cost])
% of Material = DIVIDE(Table[Material Cost],Table[Total Cost])
Labor Cost, Material Cost and Total Cost are all unique columns.
I want to be able to switch the measure used based on the selection in another parameter or table.
Cost Category Selection = {
("Labor",
SWITCH(, TRUE(),
SLECTEDVALUE(Measure_Select(Measure) = “% of Cost”),NAMEOF('Table'[% of Labor]),
SLECTEDVALUE(Measure_Select(Measure) = “Total Cost”),NAMEOF('Table'[Sum of Labor]),
… and so on
I have creased a second table for selection that is a list of analysis types for this, "Measure Select" with a list of the unique measre, either % or Total for referencing in the Parameter above.
Though appreciated.
