How to make a card return predetermined text when no/multiple items in a category selected (example)

You can see the example a bit down the page under "Free Lunches..."

When no counties are selected or more than one, the card at the top returns "Multiple Counties". How is this being accomplished? I've seen asked and answered examples of returning blanks, but not returning text such as this.

Based on this discussion (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Make-visual-blank-display-instructions-until-other-visual/t...) talking about another aspect of the same report, I was able to add this measure. 

Show Text = IF(ISFILTERED(MedianHouseIncome[County]),"","Select County") This currently makes it so that when no County is selected, it gives the desired text. What can I add to this to make it also return text when 2 or more Counties are selected?

Try HASONEVALUE

IF ( HASONEVALUE ([County]), [County], "Multiple Counties" )

Thanks a lot, really helped out! I've almost got it, here's the full code I have right now.

Income Show Text = IF(ISFILTERED(MedianHouseIncome[Geography]),"", "Select County") & IF(HASONEFILTER(MedianHouseIncome[Geography]),FILTERS(MedianHouseIncome[Geography]),"") & IF (HASONEVALUE (MedianHouseIncome[Geography]), "" , "Multiple Counties" )

It works when either one county is selected or when multiple are selected (returning county name and "Multiple Counties" respectively. However, when none are selected, it says "Select CountyMultiple Counties". Any ideas for getting around that?

Try this code:

Income Show Text =
IF (
    NOT ( ISFILTERED ( MedianHouseIncome[Geography] ) ),  //No filters
    "Select County",
    IF (
        COUNTROWS ( FILTERS ( MedianHouseIncome[Geography] ) ) > 1, //More than one value
        "Multiple Counties",
        SELECTEDVALUE ( MedianHouseIncome[Geography] ) //else condition, implies 1
    )
)

Hope this helps

That worked! David, you are a rock star!

One further thing to realize is that if there is any other filter anywhere in the report or page (not just on the visual or on a specific slicer) then ISFILTERED is going to return TRUE

Okay so after thinking about it more, I see what's happening. The & is a concatenation, so it's putting the Select County and Multiple Counties together because they're both false. When multiple counties are selected it shows up correctly because only one is false.

As a work around I could separate them out into two measures and overlay the cards, but I would really like to avoid that if possible and keep it in one measure.
