    Hi， nhniniras 

    Are you referring to this kind of ‘Field-parameters’ ?

    Currently, PowerBI does not support direct use of field parameters in measure.

    Hello nhniniras ,

     

    I was also looking a solution for this in the web, and then I realized that "field parameter" is only for Power Bi to understand it, but at the end is about the columns you have included in your fields.

     

    So what I did is to created a measure with an if statement according to the Order of my fields names and is working perfectly (I used the measure to show a specific number of customers in a visual according to a slicer, hence the switch true):

    IF(SELECTEDVALUE(localCustomers[localCustomers Order]) = 0
        ,SWITCH(TRUE()
            ,RANKX(
                ALLSELECTED('Dim Customer'[LOCAL_CUSTOMER_NAME])
                ,[businessMetricCP]
                ,,,Dense
            ) <= SelectedTop,
            1
        )
        ,SWITCH(TRUE()
            ,RANKX(
                ALLSELECTED('Dim Customer'[CUSTOMER_KEY])
                ,[businessMetricCP]
                ,,,Dense
            ) <= SelectedTop,
            1
        )
    )
     
    Hope can help others with the same doubts.

nhniniras , You can get what is selected like this

example

What is selected = maxx(filter(;]'Axis Slicer', 'Axis Slicer'[Axis Slicer Order]= SELECTEDVALUE('Axis Slicer'[Axis Slicer Order])),'Axis Slicer'[Axis Slicer])

 

better to have two measure and switch that
