Card shows multiple selections rather than just one

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I have a dashboard that has data that looks some this:

Alphabet	Number
A	1
B	1
C	2
D	2

In my dashboard, I have a card that displays the numbers and I have a filter that allows multiple selections so that multiple alphabets can be selected. Is it possible to write a DAX function for the card so that when there are multiple numbers let's say when A and C is selected, the card will display: Multiple numbers rather than just one? Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous 

Create a measure as:

Measure = CONCATENATEX(

    VALUES('Table'[Number]),

    CALCULATE(

        MAX('Table'[Number]),

        'Table'[Alphabet] IN FILTERS('Table'[Alphabet])),","

        )

Here is the output:

Here is the demo, please try it: Card shows multiple selections rather than just one

@Anonymous , Create measure like these and use

Measure = if( countx(allselected(Table), Table[Alphabet]) >1, "Multiple Selected", "Single Selected")

Value selected

concatenatex(allselected(Table), Table[Alphabet] , " , ")

concatenatex(Table, Table[Alphabet], " , ")

Hi is it possible to show the number (i.e 1 or 2) instead of 'single selected'. Thanks

@Anonymous ,

this will give number

so use this

countx(allselected(Table), Table[Alphabet])

or create any combination

Measure =

var _cnt = countx(allselected(Table), Table[Alphabet]) 

return

if( _cnt >1, _cnt & "" , "Single Selected")

hi i realized that using countx is wrong as countx counts duplicates as well. Is there a way so that even though A and B are selected, the card will display "1" instead. Thanks

@Anonymous , distinctcount(Table[Alphabet]) , should do in that case

[Anonymous]

Hi distinctcount works perfectly but i am still unsure on how to get the specific number instead of single select

[amitchandak]

@Anonymous , just display distinctcount(Table[Alphabet]) ?

[Anonymous]

i want to display the number not number of alphabets

@Anonymous , I think I am missing something. Can you share some output display example
