DAX DISTINCTCOUNT - Dynamic Field Name from SplitBy table

Helle everyone,
Maybe it's too simple, but I despair of it.  How can I make the field name dynamic? 

I need a card  measure "Distinct of SplitBy" = DISTINCTCOUNT(Deliveries[Material])

I have a digramm which legend will split by follow parametric table:
SplitBy = {
    ("Material (A)", NAMEOF('Deliveries'[Material (A)]), 10),
    ("Material", NAMEOF('Deliveries'[Material]), 20),
    ("Material (Z)", NAMEOF('Deliveries'[Material (Z)]), 30),
.....
}
For each one of this select {Material, Material (A), ... (Z)} I need number of distinct values.


Thanks 
Peter
