Make a calculated column return different dimensions based on parameter selection
Hi ExcelUser
Calculated columns aren't affected by slicers since they are calculated during refresh.
I replaced your calculated column with the following measure: (After re-reading your post, your code should work as a measure - NOT a calculated column. The calculated column in your pbix is missing the TRUE() line changing the meaning of the whole SWITCH() statement.)
Review = SWITCH( SELECTEDVALUE('PSI/PC-06 Review Details'[PSI/PC-06 Details]), "Aggregate Review Types", MIN( test_data[REVIEW TYPE] ), "Separate Review Types", MIN( test_data[Full Review Type] ) )Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. Your solution helped solved my problem.
Thanks for the FYI about calculated columns being refresh-dependent.
Hi gmsamborn ,
When implementing your solution into my actual data, I realized I made an error in my dummy data. I included a distinct ID number in the table, which I'm guessing is why the Min(Review Type) expression you suggested worked.
My actual dashboard won't have distinct account numbers. It is a table where all the meausures of the review types are summed. I'm getting 1 row of data, the MIN of the Review Type.
I re-uploaded your dashboard, and added some dummy measures to mimic the look of the actual dashboard. I also put in some screenshots of what I was hoping to replicate.
