How to change measure value using parameters?
- 10 years ago
rajdsing You cannot have a dropdown but you can use slicers or filters to change the calculations on chart.
You need to create a table that hols the values which you want to show in the slicer
Calculation Name SortID Cost 1 Quantity 2 Weight 3
The SortID is there for sorting the values in slicer as also use it to change the calculation.
The calculations are fictional, change it to your own measures. No relantionship is needed betwwen the calculation name table and any other.
The measure can be like this
Variable Calculation = VAR Costs = SUM ( Sales[Cost] ) //Change with your measure VAR Quantitys = SUM ( Sales[Quantity] ) //Change with your measure VAR Weights = SUM ( Sales[Weight] ) //Change with your measure VAR SelectMeasure = MIN ( CalculationTable[SortID] ) RETURN IF ( HASONEVALUE ( CalculationTable[Calculation Name] ); SWITCH ( SelectMeasure; 1; Costs; 2; Quantitys; 3; Weights ) )Add the [Variable Calculation] measure to any graph and add as filter of slicer the values from the table Calculation Names.
This should work
*Note that you cannot change the format based on selection ( at least not I am aware of )
And how can i format those values in the DAX return?
Example:
50
IF the choice is Price, the value must be seen with brazilian coin format (R$ 50,00).
IF the choice is Quantity, the value must be seen like 50,00
IF the choice is weight, the value must be seen like 50,0000
How can i do that?
Thank's for all!

Hi hmokkapati, the problem with the different values is solved BUT the different format type still dont havea solution.
I think we could create a ticket to power bi team, because, tableau and differents Business intelligence tools already have this feature.
Any update i will post here.
Thanks!- hmokkapati9 years agoHelper II
Hello brunozanoelo,
Agreed. In the mean time, I just decided to display a text measure that displays the Unit based on the selection below each chart.
Thank You,
