Dynamic Titles with Multiple Selections

I want to be able to do the following 

 

1. When no selection is made on a slicer: Return "All"

2. When 1-3 selections  are made on the slicer: Return "text1,text2,text3"

3. When 4 or more selections are on the slicer: Return "text1,text2,text3, ....."

 

The DAX below works for 2 and 3 but not 1. When no selection is made on the slicer i get "text1,text2,text3, ....." instead.

 

List of Lookup values =
VAR __DISTINCT_VALUES_COUNT = DISTINCTCOUNT('Column')
VAR __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW = 5
RETURN
IF(ISFILTERED(Column),
    IF(
        __DISTINCT_VALUES_COUNT > __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW,
        CONCATENATE(
            CONCATENATEX(
                TOPN(
                    __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW,
                    VALUES(Column),
                    Column,
                    ASC
                ),
                Column,
                ",",
                Column,
                ASC
            ),
            ", ..."
        ),
        CONCATENATEX(
            VALUES(Column),
            Column,
            ", ",
            Column,
            ASC
        )
    )
    , "All"
)

It works IMO.

 

List of Lookup values =
VAR __DISTINCT_VALUES_COUNT = DISTINCTCOUNT('Sample'[Column])
VAR __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW = 3
RETURN
IF(ISFILTERED('Sample'[Column]);
    IF(
        __DISTINCT_VALUES_COUNT > __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW;
        CONCATENATE(
            CONCATENATEX(
                TOPN(
                    __MAX_VALUES_TO_SHOW;
                    VALUES('Sample'[Column]);
                    'Sample'[Column];
                    ASC
                );
                'Sample'[Column];
                ", ";
                'Sample'[Column];
                ASC
            );
            "..."
        );
        CONCATENATEX(
            VALUES('Sample'[Column]);
            'Sample'[Column];
            ", ";
            'Sample'[Column];
            ASC
        )
    );
    "All"
)
 
Scenario 1: No selection

Scenario 2: 2 selection

Thank you Bolfri!

 

looks like I had "Filters on all pages" which was preventing this to work on my end.
