Error SelectedValue

Hi All,

 

I'm making a P&L statement and I'm using a PL mapping section:

When I create a Pivot in PBI I assign the fields as:

Where selectedvaluetest show for each row what row is calculating. But I have a problem with this DAX:

 

PL Amount test = 
IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE('PL Accounts'[Level1]) = "Margin",
    CALCULATE([PL Amount Net Revenues] + [PL Amount Gross Margin]),
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        SELECTEDVALUE('PL Accounts'[Level1order]) = 10, [PL Amount Net Revenues],
        SELECTEDVALUE('PL Accounts'[Level1]) = "Gross Margin", [PL Amount Gross Margin],
        SELECTEDVALUE('PL Accounts'[Level1]) = "EBITDA 4WALL", [PL Amount EBITDA 4 WALL],
        SELECTEDVALUE('PL Accounts'[Level1]) = "EBITDA", [PL Amount EBITDA],
        SELECTEDVALUE('PL Accounts'[Level1]) = "EBIT", [PL Amount EBIT],
        SELECTEDVALUE('PL Accounts'[Level1]) = "EBT", [PL Amount EBT],
        0
    )
)

Because Margin line did not appear as SelectedValuetest  value, anyone knows why?

@quickbi ok, my next hypothesis is that there are some null or blank values getting in the way. Can you try changing your selectedvalue test to use

 

CONCATENATEX( VALUES(tablename[Level1]), tablename[Level1], ", " )

You may need to add some filter modifiers to your calculate and/or selectedvalue. You can see the selectedvalue test is blank for the top row for each level 1 account in your visual, and because Margin is collapsed the top row is the only one that exists.

Hi @AllisonKennedy 
thanks for your answer but is not the problem because all level1 are showing if they are or aren't collapsed.
...and I expanded all Margin level but did not show anyvalue
