Hi kgoth
Thank you very much lbendlin and DataInsights for your prompt reply. Allow me to share something.
For your question, here is the method I provided:
Here's some dummy data
“Table”
Total Measure = SUM('Table'[Value]) Avg Measure = AVERAGE('Table'[Value]) Count Measure = COUNTROWS('Table') Per Measure = DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[Value]), CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), ALL('Table')))Create a calculation table, using CALCULATETABLE to create a table that holds the filtering context. To add columns with measures, use ADDCOLUMNS to add the measures you want to evaluate to this table.
EvaluatedMeasuresTable = ADDCOLUMNS( CALCULATETABLE( 'Table', ALLSELECTED('Table') ), "Total", 'Table'[Total Measure], "Average", 'Table'[Avg Measure], "Count", 'Table'[Count Measure], "Percentage", 'Table'[Per Measure] )Create a new table for selecting measures.
MeasureSelector = DATATABLE( "MeasureName", STRING, { {"Total"}, {"Average"}, {"Count"}, {"Percentage"} } )Use SELECTEDVALUE to dynamically select the measures to be evaluated.
DynamicMeasure = VAR SelectedMeasure = SELECTEDVALUE('MeasureSelector'[MeasureName]) RETURN SWITCH( SelectedMeasure, "Total", 'Table'[Total Measure], "Average", 'Table'[Avg Measure], "Count", 'Table'[Count Measure], "Percentage", 'Table'[Per Measure], BLANK() )Here is the result.
