Calculation Group in Card (new) Visual - Display Dynamic Storage Units

Dear Community,

 

I need to show dynamic storage units based on a slicer selection (bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes and terabytes) for "cold storage", "hot storage" and "total storage". I have created the 3 measures + the calculation group which dynamically converts the selected measure to the correct storage unit. I am displaying it correctly in a matrix visual, however I also need to make the units dynamically change in a Card (new) visual.

 

Here's my setup:

1. Database usage table:

2. Storage units table

3. Measures

Total cold storage = 
SUM(
    'Database usage'[Cold storage]
)


Total hot storage = 
SUM(
    'Database usage'[Hot Storage]
)


Total storage = 
[Total cold storage] + [Total hot storage]

 

4. Calculation group with this item:

Storage unit = 
VAR converted_storage =  
DIVIDE(
    SELECTEDMEASURE(),
    POWER(
        1024,
        SELECTEDVALUE(
            'Storage units'[ID],
            0
        )
    )
)

RETURN
FORMAT(
    converted_storage,
    "0,0.00 " &
    SELECTEDVALUE(
        'Storage units'[Storage unit]
    )
)

5. Visuals:

I need help setting up the Card (new) visual so that it dynamically changes the storage units based on the selection from the slicer.

 

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

You just need to add a visual level filter, Darg the calculation group column into the filters pane on the right and select the calculation item name: 

 for the new scorecard visual:
