Hello @Dreamer_Argento ,

 

If you want that certain measure is forced to certain selection you can use as  calculate modifier.

 

For example if you have measure: Sum('orders'[Salesamount])
You can force it the certain selection for example:

 

Calculate(Sum('orders'[Salesamount]),'customer'[Customer Name]="Microsoft")

 

Other option is to force visuals that use the measure as visual filtter

Choose the selections and lock it

Hope this helps!

Dear @ERD I want to select a value using Dax simulating a user clicking on a slicer.

@Dreamer_Argento , well, if you mean some particular value, it could be something like

... 

DimProducts[Category] = "Beverage"
