How to show a date with selectedvalue instead of #,0.00 ?

Hi,

 

I would like to show a value in a card visual only when one row is selected. If more rows are selected I want to show "...".

The value I want to show is a date.

 

With dax I made the following code:      DateSV = SELECTEDVALUE(table[date], "...")

 

If multiple rows are selected, the dax works. The card visual neatly shows "...". But when I select one row, "#,0.00" appears in the card visual.

 

Who can help me to optimize my dax code?

Hi @henriwestra ,

 

Please follow these steps to create a measure:

1. input

Measure 2 = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])

 

2.Change its' format as Date format(Short Date)

3. Modify the measure:

Measure 2= 
var _count=COUNTX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Date])
var _sele=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])
return IF(_count=1,_sele,"...")

Here is the final output:

selectedvalue for single or multiple selection.gif

DateSV = 
format(
	coalesce(
		selectedvalue( 'table'[Date] ),
		"..."
	),
	"yyyy-MM-dd" // you can adjust this
)

@henriwestra Easiest solution:

DateSV2 = IF(HASONEVALUE('Calendar'[Date]),MAX('Calendar'[Date]) & "","...")
