Using Measure as Paramter

** TAKING TIPS **

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use a measure as a parameter for my stacked column chart, and not succeding with this.

The Measure Backlog Grouped is only showing up as Load in my chart when using this Measure as a Parameter:

 

 

Backlog Grouped = 
IF (
    NOT ISBLANK(MIN('Manning_v'[Type])),
    IF (
        MIN('Manning_v'[Type]) = "Project",
        "Backlog",
        SELECTEDVALUE('Projects_v'[Name], "")
    ),
    BLANK()
)

 

 

 

The Paramter list looks like this:

 

 

Display By = {
    ....
    ("Backlog Grouped", NAMEOF('_DAX'[Backlog Grouped]), 6),
    ....
}

 

 

 

To me it looks like the NAMEOF is the issue, because the Measure shows as intended when using a Table Visualization.
