    I am assuming what you want to show on the y-axis is different measures depending on the selection in slicer. 

     

    1. Let us assume you have a SalesTransaction table that has both Quantity and SalesValue.

    2. We have a slicer that displays Quantity and SalesValue as a selection.

    3. Based on the selectionn in the slicer we want to display Quantity or SalesValue in the Y-Axis of the graph.

    4. To acheive the above follow the steps below.

    5. Create a static table called SelectMeasure  ( not connected to anyother table in the model)  having columns 

         MeasureID and MeasureName

    6. Rows for the example will be

          1. Quantity

          2. SalesValue

    7.  Create a slicer using the MeasureName. 

    8.  Create two measures called TotalQuantity = Sum(Quantity) and TotalValue = Sum(SalesValue)

    9.   Create a measure called DisplayMeasure as

          DisplayMeasure= switch (TRUE,
                                                         Min ( 'SelectMeasure'[MeasureID] ) = 1,
                                                                          ( [TotalQuantity] ),
                                                         Min ( 'SelectMeasure'[MeasureID] ) = 2,
                                                       ( [TotalValue] ) )

    10. In your chart use this DisplayMeasure as the Value column.

    11. Depending on the selection in the slicer the Y-axis will change according to the values of Quantity or SalesValue.

     

    Try this and if this works please accept it as a solution and also give Kudos.

     

    Cheers
