Card to show value depending on slicer selection

[christinek]

Hi all.

I have a slicer with 3 selection options for "Std Matter".

Just to show my issue, I have created 3 separate cards to show a value for each option.

But what I want if possible, is only one card to show the relevant value, based on the slicer selection.

I am also not sure if I have done this correctly, but the 3 values are just a fixed "expected value". I added 3 measures:

where for example: 

Expected Individual Returns = 1947

If there is a better way to add these 3 fixed values, please advise?

Would appreciate any assistance to achieve above.

Hi @christinek,

If you mean add up three formula results, I’d like to suggest you create a new measure invoke and calculate with these formulas.

In addition, you can also take a look at the following link about use switch to redirect to different calculation based on current selections:

Hi, thank you for suggestion and detail. I don't actually want a SUM.

What I want to appear in the CARD is 

if slicer selection = Business Compliance 2022, CARD to show 1125 (fixed value)

if slicer selection = Individual Returns 2022, CARD to show 1947 (fixed value)

if slicer selection = Super Fund Taxation & Accounts, CARD to show 479 (fixed value).

I have tried to use your suggestion, but not getting the reult I am after. This is what I have done:

I hope this is clearer.

Shuold I still be able to use your suggestion and if so, where have I gone wrong in above please?

Apprectiate your time.

Hi @christinek,

So you mean return specific value based on current selection? If that is the case, you can use SWITCH and SELECTEDVALUE function as following measure formula:

formula =
VAR selected =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Column] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        selected,
        "Business Compliance 2022", 1125,
        "Individual Returns 2022", 1947,
        "Super Fund Taxation & Accounts", 479,
        0
    )

You can use this in the card visual and it will return static values based on current selections.(notice: these can only achieve in measure formula because power bi does not support create dynamic calculate column/table based on filter selections)

What if you want to select 2 values and generate a specific output depending on those 2 selected slicer values?

Yes, works perfectly. Thank you so much Xiaoxin.
