Dax slicer multiple selections

Dear Community,

I am building a cashflow forecast, where the due date of bills can dynamically changed with an X number of days, using a parameter. This is combined with a slicer where the specific cost category can be selected. The due date for that specific category can be extended when this category is selected.

I arranged this with the following formula:

 

 

 

 

Measure = 
 IF(ALLSELECTED('Slicer Table'[Category]) in FILTERS('Value by date 2'[Category]),
 CALCULATE  (SUM( 'Value by date 2'[Value] ) , DATEADD(DimDate[Date],-[Value Parameter],DAY)), 
 CALCULATE  (sum('Value by date 2'[Value]) , DATEADD(DimDate[Date],0,DAY)))

 

 

 

 

This works perfect, but the problem is that there is an error when I select multiple categories at the same time:


The error says:  a table of multiple of values was supplied where a single value was expected.

Can someone give some advice how to adjust my DAX-formula to make it possible to select multiple items?

If it helps, the PBIX file can be downloaded here:

Thank you very much in advance!

    I am not sure why you have a disconnected slicer for the category

    Try this measure:

    Measure = 
IF (
    
    COUNTROWS(
        INTERSECT(    
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Slicer Table'[Category] ),
        FILTERS('Value by date 2'[Category] )
    ))>0,
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Value by date 2'[Value] ),
        DATEADD ( DimDate[Date], - [Value Parameter], DAY )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Value by date 2'[Value] ),
        DATEADD ( DimDate[Date], 0, DAY )
    )
)

      Thank you so so much Fowmy ,

      I was struggling for days to fix this and I am very happy that I finally got a way how this works. For learning purposes I will study the exact formula tomorrow, but now glad it works

       

      You made my day!

    IAA , Try like

    Measure =
    var _1 =ALLSELECTED('Slicer Table'[Category])
    return
    sumx( all('Slicer Table'[Category]) , if('Value by date 2'[Category] in _1 ,
    CALCULATE (SUM( 'Value by date 2'[Value] ) , DATEADD(DimDate[Date],-[Value Parameter],DAY)),
    CALCULATE (sum('Value by date 2'[Value]) , DATEADD(DimDate[Date],0,DAY))))

      Thank you amitchandak ,

      Unfortunately, the if-statement does not work in this Dax formula. Any idea how to fix this?
