IF Function dependent on Slicer with result coming from different columns

[mel0001]

Hi, I have two Data sets as below.

Table 1:

Product	YTD1	YTD2	YTD3	Total
A	10	15	12	37
B	5	2	1	8
C	6	1	3	10
Total				55

Table 2:

Month	YTD
Jan	YTD1
Feb	YTD2
Mar	YTD3

I want to create a NewColumn (or maybe a new measure) in Table 1 which is dependent on a Slicer (value: Jan, Feb, Mar) in the Report. 

For example, if filtered value is "Jan" in the slicer, the NewColumn will get YTD1 column, if "Feb", then it will get YTD2 column. 

What is the way to do this? 

Thank you!

Hi  , 

1. Create a table via 

Table = union(VALUES(Table2[YTD]),{"NewColumn"})
 
2. Put the new column [YTD] in 'Table' into Columns of matrix table.

3. Create a mesure use the following code:

Measure =
VAR _sum =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[Value] ),
        'Table1'[YTD] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[YTD] )
    )
VAR _newcolumn =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[Value] ),
        'Table1'[YTD] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table2[YTD] )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[YTD] ),
        IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[YTD] ) = "newcolumn", _newcolumn, _sum ),
        SUM ( Table1[Value] ) + _newcolumn
    )

Result:

Pbix in the end you can refer.

A slicer choice cannot create a column. It can impact a measure. Read about SELECTEDVALUE() and SWITCH()
