Changing a parameter based on a slicer

Can I change a parameter based on the selected slicer value?
The parameter then is used to calculate a column displayed on the report in a table

  • Hi Anonymous 

     

    You will be able to create a numeric range parameter with which you can change the value with a slicer.

    You can use that value within a measure or calculated column.

     

    Here is an example:

    This table is automatically created (with one column and one measure):

    This measure returns the selected value of the slicer which you will use in your formula.

     

    Hope this helps you.

      Hi HughLa ,

       

      I tried your above method and got the default value of the slicer sorted, but when i change th evalue of slicer, it does not change the SELECTEDVALUE part of the parameter. I have set the default value as 465000.

      Drop Dead Miles Value = SELECTEDVALUE('Drop Dead Miles Cap'[Drop Dead Miles],465000)
       
      Irrespective of the change of value in the slicer as shown below:

       

      The selected value still remains to be 465000:


      Why is it not changing to the current slicer value? Am i missing something?

       

      Thanks!

        Hi Anonymous 

         

        That is strange that it is not changing. 

        I just tested it on my side and it changes to the selected value in the slicer. Maybe try playing around with the default value.
