Hi alenashkel ,

 

If you don't want to use Row Level Security (RLS), please try following steps:

 

This is my test table:

 

Please create following measures:

Current selections = COUNTROWS(DISTINCT(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Country])))

Total selections = COUNTROWS(DISTINCT(ALL('Table'[Country])))

Sales with default = IF(
    [Current selections] = [Total selections],
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Table'[Sales]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Country] = "Sweden")),
    SUM('Table'[Sales]))

 

The sales and the slicer are always Sweden.

 

 

The user can be able to change the country on the slicer.

Best regards,

Yadong Fang

Plus, it's a dynamic filter. In your case, you say specfically = sweden. This would vary depending on the user.
