Dynamic Text for a Drill Through

    My mistake with that last measure.

    The last line should be returning _Logic not _ColorParm.

    Sorry about that.

Here is a little more detail about what I am trying to do:

 

The last value I need to include in the title changes depending on the Color Parameter. So, I cannot simply use selectedvalue(Table[Gender]) 

 

Since Color Parameter = 

{

    ("Overall", NAMEOF('Enrollment'[Overall]), 0),

    ("Gender", NAMEOF('Student Bio Demo'[Gender]), 1),

    ("Race/Ethnicity", NAMEOF('Student Bio Demo'[Ethnicity Race Group]), 2),

    ("Minority", NAMEOF('Student Bio Demo'[Minority]), 3),

    ("Residency", NAMEOF('Student Bio Demo'[Residency level]), 4)

 

I tried 

Drillthrough Title Piece = IF(Color Parameter  = "Overall", "Overall", (If(Color Parameter  = "Gender", selectedvalue('Student Bio Demo'[Gender]), (If(Color Parameter = "Race/Ethnicity", selectedvalue('Student Bio Demo'[Ethnicity Race Group]), (If(Color Parameter  = "Minority", selectedvalue('Student Bio Demo'[Minority]), selectedvalue('Student Bio Demo'[Residency level]))))))))
 
But Power BI doesn't like this.  Any suggestions?

Does this help?  I think it was just a matter of incorrectly placed parentheses.

 

 

Drillthrough Title Piece =
IF(
    'Color Parameter'[Value] = "Overall",
    "Overall",
    IF(
        'Color Parameter'[Value] = "Gender",
        SELECTEDVALUE( 'Student Bio Demo'[Gender] ),
        IF(
            'Color Parameter'[Value] = "Race/Ethnicity",
            SELECTEDVALUE( 'Student Bio Demo'[Ethnicity Race Group] ),
            IF(
                'Color Parameter'[Value] = "Minority",
                SELECTEDVALUE( 'Student Bio Demo'[Minority] ),
                SELECTEDVALUE( 'Student Bio Demo'[Residency level] )
            )
        )
    )
)

    Thank you for the response, gmsamborn .

     

    Unfortunately, that did not work.  The error message says "The syntax for 'Value' is incorrect."

      Hi SusanRay 

      I was just going by your definition for [Drillthrough Title Piece].  In you definition, you refer to Color Parameter without using quotes (ie. 'table') or square brackets ( ie. [measure] ).  I have no way of knowing if that is a measure or a table (or even a column).

        Hello gmsamborn ,

         

        I apologize if I wasn't clear. I am still very new to Power BI and Dax. 

        Color Parameter is just that, a parameter. ( a 'fields' parameter if that helps)

         

        My use case: 

        I have one page with a stacked bar graph that changes the legend colors based on the Color Parameter selection (Gender, Race/Ethnicity or Residency, etc.).   

         

        A user can select a portion of a bar and drill through to another page. That page, of course, only shows data relevant to the particular bar and color selected.  

         

        I need a way to title the drill-through page that clearly indicates what was selected on the previous page (for example "Male" or "Asian" or "In-State").  The exact verbiage will vary depending on which parameter was chosen.

         

        I am struggling to find the correct DAX syntax for that purpose.  

         

        Does any of that make sense?
