    It's a two step process. Check the article at sqlbi.com . Fields parameters in Power BI - SQLBI

     

    Unfortunately it is not (yet) possible to provide lists of columns instead of individual columns

Rowcount = 
SWITCH(concatenatex(parameter,[Parameter],","),
"ACCOUNTING_PERIOD",COUNTROWS(SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('ledger_fy22_qtr1'),[ACCOUNTING_PERIOD])),
"FISCAL_YEAR",COUNTROWS(SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('ledger_fy22_qtr1'),[FISCAL_YEAR])),
COUNTROWS(SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('ledger_fy22_qtr1'),[FISCAL_YEAR],[ACCOUNTING_PERIOD]))
)

This is as close as I've seen anyone get to the solution I'm looking for. In my situation, the user wants to dynamically add multiple fields from one table, but their are over 100 fields in this table and they could add any combination of fields. I'm trying to think of a way to modify your dax above to account for the endless possible variations of column selections. 

I'm stumped right now, if you had any thoughts I would love to hear them! Thanks.

    It's all manual, and unmanageable for more than 5 parameters.  You are looking at 2 to the power of parameter count permutations.
