Default image URL in an IF statement

I have the following expression in a mesure that selects an image URL of a flag from a table, but when it is FALSE it does't show the default image.

 

FLAG = IF(HASONEVALUE(XXX_Countries_OK[country]), SELECTEDVALUE(XXX_Countries_OK[image_url], "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/World_Flag_%282004%29.svg"))
1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Thank you, the idea of inserting the default value in a new table is OK, but for me it works with the following script:

Selected FLAG = IF(HASONEVALUE(XXX_Countries_OK[country]), SELECTEDVALUE(XXX_Countries_OK[image_url]), MAX('Table'[URL]]))
The default value must be inside the IF statment not in the SELECTEDVALUE function

@faroby I guess you are adding this as a measure, did you change the category of the measure to image URL?

Yes I changed the category of the measure to Image URL, and it works for all the images of flags in the table if the statement is TRUE, but not for the image "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/World_Flag_%282004%29.svg" if the statment is FALSE. Thanks
