How to display the value selected in a slicer or bookmark

[EVEAdmin]

Hi All,

I am in the current scenario:

• I created a report that display figures from 3 different regions
• With the use of a slicer, I can display:
  • all regions (no selection)
  • each individual region

That's all fine so far.

Then, I created a bookmark for each of the possible 4 selections:

1. all
2. region 1
3. region 2
4. region 3

The slicer has been hidden in each bookmark.

Then, I created 4 buttons and each button corresponds to each bookmark. When I click the button, the corresponding selection is displayed.

What I would like to do is to display in a card the selected value, to understand whether I am in Region 1, Region 2, Region 3 or all of them. So, for example, when Region 1 button is clicked, the card will display something like "Region 1"

I followed this tutorial and came up with the following measure, but it does not work

SelectedRegion = IF( ISFILTERED(WWTickets[TkServerName]), 
            SELECTEDVALUE(WWTickets[TkServerName], 
             CONCATENATEX(
ALLSELECTED(WWTickets[TkServerName]),
WWTickets[TkServerName],
", "
)  ),
             "No Selection")

where WWTickets[TkServerName] is the field assigned to the main slicer.
Any clue, please?

Please ignore. 

The measure in the first post works well. I was in PBI Desktop, where CTRL+ Click is required and I was only clicking on the buttons, I guess I need another coffee

HI, @EVEAdmin 

I have test on my side with your formula, it works well too.

and for power bi desktop is a "development tool" , it has some difference when interacte on the report, you need CTRL+ Click for selected button.

And It's pleasant that your problem has been solved, please accept the reply as a solution, that way, other community members will easily find the solution when they get same issue.
Thanks.

Best Regards,

@v-lili6-msft thank you.

I was fully aware of the CTRL+Click, simply forgotten 

Marked my reply as solution, tnx again.

I can establish a relation between the card and the value selected in the slicer.

It seems the issue is with the buttons. Each button is associated with a bookmark. 

So, is there anything I can do to display a button title, or other field, in a card ?
