Get Filtered table based on condition

Hi,

I have a Filter variable:

 

VAR FilteredTable = FILTER(data_table, data_table[col1] = SELECTEDVALUE(date_table2[col1]) )

 

The queries after will use FilteredTable to calculate the sum.

 

RETURN SWITCH(table[col], "val1", Calculate sum of rows filtered by "FilteredTable", 0)

 

The problem comes when I want to use the same measure in different chart, then I dont want this filter, I want whole "data_table" rows.

Is there any way to do the calculation like:

 

VAR FilteredTable = FILTER(data_table, data_table[col1] = SELECTEDVALUE(date_table2[col1]) )
VAR AllFilteredTable = ALLSELECTED(data_table)

VAR value = IF (COUNTROWS(FilteredTable) = 0, Calculate using FilteredTable, Calculate using AllFilteredTable)

 

and then:

 

RETURN SWITCH(table[col], "val1", SUM(anothertable[column1]), 0)

 

The above does not work and throws error "the expression refers to multiple columns, multiple columns cannot be converted to scalar value"
