SELECTEDVALUE in a column, not measure

‎07-21-2020 06:41 AM

Hi,

I want to use a value from another table for calculations in my main table. These calculations are column calculations, no measure! The value should be selectable, e.g. within a slicer oder table.

I tried to use SELECTEDVALUE, but this returns no value within a column, only within a measure.

Has anyone an idea how to implement this?

Regards,

Thomas.

@tez - You cannot. Columns are calculated at the time of data load/refresh. Columns cannot be dynamic based upon user interaction with the report.

@Greg_Deckler 

I was afraid, that this could be the answer.

Anyway, thank you for confirming.

Regards,

Thomas.
