HI SBePicas,
I'd like to suggest you create a new table with three field names and use it as source of slicer.
NewTable = DATATABLE ( "ColName", STRING, { { "Col1" }, { "Col2" }, { "Col3" } } )After these steps, you can create a measure formula with switch function to check current selected value and redirect to different calculation expressions.
DC based on selection = VAR selected = SELECTEDVALUE ( NewTable[ColName] ) RETURN SWITCH ( selected, "Col1", COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( Table1[Col1] ) ), "Col2", COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( Table1[Col2] ) ), "Col3", COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( Table1[Col3] ) ), COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( Table1[Col1] ) ) )Regards,
