Create a Dynamic Title Using a Hierarchy

I am trying to create a dynamic title for a table based on what the user selects in a hierarchy slicer. I created the hierarchy as a new field. When I try to create the measure for the SELECTEDVALUE, the hierarchy does not appear as an option for me to select. An example of the hierarchy is below. My expected results for the table title would be something like "Annual Performance for" Chief A, Director B, Manager C.

 

Any assistance would be much appreciated! Thanks!!

@Anonymous the image you shared was not representing you have turned on a single selection. Anyhow, it is good then it should be just concatenating 3 columns

 

SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[ChiefColumn] ) & " " & 
SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[DirectorColumn] ) & " " &
SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[ManagerColumn] )

@Anonymous Question you need to ask yourself, what happens if more than one selection is made, how would you like to see that? Giving a solution is easy but looking forward and making it scalable is also critical. Thoughts?

I have the slicer set for Single Selection so users can only make one selection at a time.

@Anonymous ,

A measure like this

maxx(allselected(Table, Table[Chief])) & " " & maxx(allselected(Table, Table[Director]))& " " & maxx(allselected(Table, Table[Manager]))
