EMPNODEPTNOSAL

SZ190

10459
SZ18120600
SZ87620587
SZ56820545

Instead of manually passing city = chicago and sal > 500.
is there a way to to parameterized the hard coded values?

@cmpbn 

For City you can use a slicer of city name[create a city  dim table and keep this disconnected], For salary create a numeric parameter. Use selectedvalue function to pass both of these to the measure. It will look something like below.

calculate(count(emp),city=selected value of(city_fromdim table)&&salary>selectedvalue(numeric_parameter))

Thanks, it worked.
I just realised this could have been done using CALCULATE function which reestablishes the relation ship between the tables.
