Rankx with switch and field parameters - performance issue

Hello ! 

I would like to have dynamic top 5 KDU on visuals - taking into consideration current filtering and also Measure selection (using field parameters and switch function). 

It result with bad performance and usually error with not sufficent memory. The Dax which I have tried looks like this:

 

KDU RANK =
var KDU = ALLSELECTED(Data[KDU])

RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 0,RANKX(KDU,[Total vs PC]) ,
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 1,RANKX(KDU,[Std Cost vs PC]),
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 2,RANKX(KDU,[Std vs PC]) ,
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 3,RANKX(KDU,[Std Costs 3rd vs PC]),
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 4,RANKX(KDU,[company Purchases vs PC]) ,
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 5,RANKX(KDU,[Other vs PC]),
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 6,RANKX(KDU,[Total Volume vs PC]) ,
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 7,RANKX(KDU,[Total net]),
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 8,RANKX(KDU,[Std Cost net]),
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 9,RANKX(KDU,[Std net]),
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 10,RANKX(KDU,[Std Costs 3rd net]) ,
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 11,RANKX(KDU,[company Purchases net]),
SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])= 12,RANKX(KDU,[Other net])
)

 

Any ideas how to use rankx with good performance with dynamic measure selection ?

@KarolDmo , Try like

 

KDU RANK =
var KDU = ALLSELECTED(Data[KDU])
var _sel = SELECTEDVALUE('Measure Selection'[Measure Selection Order])
var _mes = SWITCH(_sel
,
0, [Total vs PC],
1, [Std Cost vs PC],
2, [Std vs PC],
3, [Std Costs 3rd vs PC],
4, [Company Purchases vs PC],
5, [Other vs PC],
6, [Total Volume vs PC],
7, [Total net],
8, [Std Cost net],
9, [Std net],
10, [Std Costs 3rd net],
11, [Company Purchases net],
12, [Other net]
)


RETURN
RANKX(KDU,_mes)
