Can we override a measures value with parameter

[GKK1]

Hi Power BI community,

I am working on a report, where I am asked to override a value if a value is selected from Parameter. 
I have a matrix where I have a measure = Hours worked * avg_Daily_wage. Now my customer wants if minimum wage changes, they need a parameter which will override the avg_Daily_wage value in the measure.

I am still new here and need to learn how to add the images in my post. I hope I made it clear with my ntoes.

I would really appriciate your help. 

Best regards,
GK

@jgeddes , thank you very much for your suppoprt. It wokred. I was not sure if we can use paramenters in the variables and use them in If statement.

A measure like the following will do what you are looking for

Cost =

var _parameterValue =

HASONEVALUE('Avg Wage Override'[Avg Wage Override])

Return

IF(

    _parameterValue,

    SUM(hoursTable[Hours]) * 'Avg Wage Override'[Avg Wage Override Value],

    SUM(hoursTable[Hours]) * [Average Daily Wage]

)

You would need to ensure that the parameter slicer has any values cleared out if they are not intended to be used.
