Create a dynamic column based on slicer selection
I have two tables:
Table 1
| ColumnA | ColumnB |
| A1 | B1 |
| A2 | B2 |
| A3 | B3 |
Table 2
| Column Types |
| ColumnA |
| ColumnB |
I have a slicer for Columns Types and based on selection from that filter a ColumnC should be created in the table - Table1.
Eg., If i select ColumnA in the filter, my Table1 should look like this:
New Table1
| ColumnA | ColumnB | ColumnC |
| A1 | B1 | A1 |
| A2 | B2 | A2 |
| A3 | B3 | A3 |
If i select ColumnB in the filter, my Table1 should look like this:
New Table1
| ColumnA | ColumnB | ColumnC |
| A1 | B1 | B1 |
| A2 | B2 | B2 |
| A3 | B3 | B3 |
The final goal is to create a slicer with ColumnC as well and it will show values based on selected value in Column Types slicer.

ColumnC Measure = SWITCH( MAX('Table 2'[Column Types])), "ColumnA",MAX('Table 1'[ColumnA]), "ColumnB",MAX('Table 1'[ColumnB]), BLANK() )Thanks for your reply Greg. But I want to use ColumnC as a slicer anda measure cant be used as a slicer.
Also, using column C as an independent column shows only the maximum value for the column selected in the slicer.
- Columns cannot be dynamic based upon user selection. Just use the disconnected table trick to use your measure as a slicer.
A bit change to Greg_Deckler's DAX.ColumnC Measure = SWITCH( MAX('Table 2'[Column Types]), "ColumnA",MAX('Table 1'[ColumnA]), "ColumnB",MAX('Table 1'[ColumnB]), BLANK() )
