I have a Slicer, i.e.
I want to write a logic DAX function using IF() like:
Singe
In the multiple selections
How to write the DAX function to identify whether or not "Successful" is selected?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous ,
You may create a measure using dax below:
Result = IF(CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT(CONCATENATEX(ALLSELECTED('Table'), 'Table'[project_status], ""), "Successful") = TRUE(), "A", "B")

I see @v-yuta-msft has provided a solution (I wasn't even aware of the function CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT!)
Just as an alternative, I worked on a different approach:

Here is simpler one: it works if we have to keep a check if any option is selected, If nothing selected or selected both case need to be worked, then remove Is filtered and use if satetment.
To make sure Slicer is filtered:

Note that this method breaks if you have two rows in the slicer table that contain the same text, e.g.
"Sales"
and "Sales (adjusted)". When "Sales (adjusted)" is selected in the slicer, the code with think that the "Sales" option was selected, when it wasn't.
Result = IF(CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT(CONCATENATEX(ALLSELECTED('Table'), 'Table'[project_status], ""), "Sales") = TRUE(), "A", "B")
The COUNTROWS method that @PaulDBrown posted might be more robust.
@Anonymous
you can use SELECTEDVALUE in your measure. For example:
measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE(table[project_status]) = “Successful”, [measure 1], [measure 2])

Thank you.
But it only works for a single selection. If I select multiple values including "Successful", it can't work...

Thanks.
In my case, need to change the last line into: if(calc>=1,"YES","NO")
