Let's say I have 6 metrics Sales, COGS, Sales This Year, COGS This Year, Sales Last Year, COGS Last Year.
I want the user to have 2 slicers
1. To choose between Sales or COGS
2. To choose between comparison to "This Year" or "Last Year"
If user selects Sales and This Year, the Card visual will show Sales as the main metric and Sales This Year in the reference label area.
If user selects COGS and Last Year, the Card visual will show COGS as the main metric and COGS Last Year in the reference label area.
I thought I would be able to achieve this using 2 Field Parameters but looks like Field Parameters don't work for Reference Labels. Is that correct or am I missing something?
Here's a link to a sample PBIX file.

Hi @VickyDev18 ,
Currently you cannot use field parameters in the reference or the card since has you can see it will return the first value and not the value itself for this you need to create a switch measure:
Reference = SWITCH( TRUE(),
SELECTEDVALUE(_Param_Metric[_Param_Metric Order]) = 0 && SELECTEDVALUE(_Param_CompareTo[_Param_ComapreTo Order]) =0 , [Sales This Year],
SELECTEDVALUE(_Param_Metric[_Param_Metric Order]) = 0 && SELECTEDVALUE(_Param_CompareTo[_Param_ComapreTo Order]) =1 , [Sales Last Year],
SELECTEDVALUE(_Param_Metric[_Param_Metric Order]) = 1 && SELECTEDVALUE(_Param_CompareTo[_Param_ComapreTo Order]) =0 , [COGS This Year],
SELECTEDVALUE(_Param_Metric[_Param_Metric Order]) = 1 && SELECTEDVALUE(_Param_CompareTo[_Param_ComapreTo Order]) =1 , [COGS Last Year])

Check out my blog: Power BI em PortuguêsBesides Field Parameters, Calculation Groups also do not work with the new Card visual's reference labels. This limitation means we can't dynamically switch the reference labels values using these features.
A workaround is to use a Dynamic Measure that utilizes the SWITCH function, as demonstrated in the post, by @MFelix.
Hope Microsoft adds support for Field Parameters and Calculation Groups in the reference label section of the Card visual in future updates.
