SELECTED VALUE

Hi Guys,

 

I need a little help on SELECTEDVALUE. What I wanted to achieve is when I select a month, it will display:

"For the month of <MONTH>, the TOTAL TRAFFIC is <SUM OF TOTAL TRAFFIC>, the AVERAGE PAGE PER SESSION IS <AVERAGE PAGE/SESSION> etc....

I created a measure that says 

SelectedMonth = "For the month of "&SELECTEDVALUE('Month Order'[Month],"")
but I don't know how to make the rest.

@emmanmapada I assume you have already created measure for total traffic and average session
I would suggest you to use nested concatenate function 
Measure = 

VAR _selectedMonth = SELECTEDVALUE('Month Order'[Month],"")
VAR _totaltraffic = SUM('Table'[Total Traffic])
VAR _AveragePageSession = Average('table'[field])

RETURN CONCATENATE("For the month of ",CONCATENATE(_selectedMonth,CONCATENATE(" the TOTAL TRAFFIC is ",CONCATENATE(_totaltraffic,CONCATENATE("AVERAGE PAGE PER SESSION IS ",_AveragePageSession)))))
