Dynamically change a column in a measure

hi !

I have a table with 3 columns: Date, Sales and Cost.

I need to create the measures for sales and cost. in fact, too many of them.

My question is possible to dynamically change a column in a measure, like using the column name as parameter? For example:

Var ColumnSelected = SELECTEDVALUE(column) #Selection from a slicer using a table with rows with the same name of the columns in the fact table

Return
Sum(FactTable[ColumnSelected]) 

I checked some alternatives but all of them requires to create all the measures of each column and them use SWITCH.


Thank you

You'll need to use the SWITCH approach with a disconnected table, or a better way is to use a calculation group.
