Dynamic chart based in a variable selector

Hi all!

 

I need to build a dynamic bar graph in which the legend is dynamic and is defined by the variable selected in a slicer, in this case, it could be selected to show the graph based on the following 3 values: Does anyone know if this can be done?

 

Thanks!

Hi, @Anonymous 

Yes, you can make it without parameters but you still need to manually create a table containing the values in the slicer, then create a new measure as below and apply it to the visual.

Measure = SWITCH(MAX(Slicer[Field Name]),"Country",[Measure 1],"Product",[Measure 2],"Technology",[Measure 3])
