Create table from existing one with the condition from the user

Actual =

VAR y = variables[var_2022]

    "Select"

)

Hi, 

I am trying to create a new table from the existing table and it should take the condition from the user. So for instance, the user would pick Slicer_option_actual_1 and then it would create a new table that would filter from the old table the correct version of " Slicer_option_actual_1".

The error is: The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value.

I have googled this problem but could nto find it for the instance where the condition is based on the user. 

Thank you for your help

@Tomas930115 , You can not create a table based on the selected value. As that will not be correct

For error

This may measure where are using that code

or you need a max here

[User_selection_actual] = max(ariables[var_Slicer_option_Actual_1])

I will illustrate the problem in this example:

Original Table:

Version	Revenue	Product
x	10
x	10
x	10
x	10
z	20
z	20
y	30
a	40

On PowerBi dashborad, I the user would select "version" for instance -> "x" and the new table would be created only with a rows version "x" 

New table:

Version	Revenue	Product
x	10
x	10
x	10
x	10

Hi @Tomas930115 ,

If you want a table visual displayed, it could be achieved.

If you want a calculated table created by dax, as @amitchandak  said, it's impossible.

Because calculated tables are static results, results are not dynamically updated because of slicer or filter filtering.
