calculated column logic is not as expected.

LegendCategory =
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    SELECTEDVALUE(Reporter[Reporter Order]) = 0, 'DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Import Zone],
    SELECTEDVALUE(Reporter[Reporter Order]) = 1, 'DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Export Zone],
    SELECTEDVALUE(Reporter[Reporter Order]) = 2, 'DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Import Zone],
    SELECTEDVALUE(Reporter[Reporter Order]) = 3, 'DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Export Zone],
    "Please select a value"
)
I dragged report order into slicer. If i select 0,1,2 or 3. It's only  compute once and remain static.

Hi @Samar1234 

 

Thank you very much Fowmy and FreemanZ for your prompt reply.

 

For this problem, I recommend that you create a measure instead of calculating a column.

 

The measures are dynamically changed based on the selection of the slicer, which is more consistent with usage habits. Also, I have made changes to your code as follows:

LegendCategory = 
IF(
    ISFILTERED('Reporter'[Reporter Order]),
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        SELECTEDVALUE(Reporter[Reporter Order]) = 0, SELECTEDVALUE('DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Import Zone]),
        SELECTEDVALUE(Reporter[Reporter Order]) = 1, SELECTEDVALUE('DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Export Zone]),
        SELECTEDVALUE(Reporter[Reporter Order]) = 2, SELECTEDVALUE('DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Import Zone]),
        SELECTEDVALUE(Reporter[Reporter Order]) = 3, SELECTEDVALUE('DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Export Zone])
    ),
    "Please select a value"
)

@Samar1234 You can convert this into a Measure and provided the visual where this measure is used doesn't have more than 1 row in the DMT_GTA table.

 

LegendCategory =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Reporter[Reporter Order] ) = 0, SELECTEDVALUE ( 'DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Import Zone] ),
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Reporter[Reporter Order] ) = 1, SELECTEDVALUE ( 'DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Export Zone] ),
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Reporter[Reporter Order] ) = 2, SELECTEDVALUE ( 'DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Import Zone] ),
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Reporter[Reporter Order] ) = 3, SELECTEDVALUE ( 'DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Export Zone] ),
    "Please select a value"
)

Hi @Samar1234 ,

 

can you please help to understand the requirement and challenge you are facing with supporting input data and expect out data. 

 

A simple table with input data and expect result would help.

 

Thanks,

 

Ankur

@Samar1234 

What's your expected behavour? If you select a value from Reporter Order from a slicer and you need to make a calculation on a column then you need to provide a calculation like Sum(' 'DMT_GTA W_DMT_GTA_V_GTA_FCST_TON'[Import Zone]') not a column,  If you need to dynamically select a column based on selection, go for field paramerters:

hi @Samar1234 ,

 

calculated column/table is not supposed to response to the visual behaviors. 

It is updated only if you refresh it manually.

Is there any alternate solution otherthan calculated measure.
