You're right. It seems IF returns a scalar too. I would then try one of the following. In any case, I'd also be interested in seeing other approaches. Does anyone have other ideas? It might be a good idea to open up another thread asking for them.
Intended_Measure := VAR Test1 = VALUES ( TABLE[Column1] ) VAR Test2 = VALUES ( TABLE[Column2] ) RETURN IF ( [SelectMeasure] = 1, CALCULATE (SUM ( [Measure] ), FILTER ( OTHERTABLE, OTHERTABLE[Columnx] IN Test1 ) ), IF ( [SelectMeasure] = 2, CALCULATE (SUM ( [Measure] ), FILTER ( OTHERTABLE, OTHERTABLE[Columnx] IN Test2 ) ) ) )or without the VARs:
Intended_Measure := IF ( [SelectMeasure] = 1, CALCULATE (SUM ( [Measure] ), FILTER ( OTHERTABLE, OTHERTABLE[Columnx] IN VALUES ( TABLE[Column1] ) ) ), IF ( [SelectMeasure] = 2, CALCULATE (SUM ( [Measure] ), FILTER ( OTHERTABLE, OTHERTABLE[Columnx] IN VALUES ( TABLE[Column2] ) ) ) ) )

Hello v-juanli-msft,
My data is more or less as follows:
TABLE :
| Column1 | Column2 |
| A | A1 |
| A | A2 |
| B | B |
| C | C |
OTHERTABLE:
| Columnx | Value |
| A | 1 |
| A1 | 2 |
| A2 | 3 |
| B | 4 |
| C | 5 |
