Measure as a filter in a Power Bi Report

Hi Experts

 

is it possible to use a Measure as a slicer in a Power BI report or how to convert a measure into a slicer in a Power Bi report

 

My Measure.

_MeasureSelector = DATATABLE(
    "Measure", STRING,
    "Sort Order", INTEGER,
    {
        {"Actuals", 1},
        {"Current Forecast", 2},
        {"Budgets", 3},
        {"Budgets vs Forecasts", 4},
        {"YTD Actuals", 5},
        {"YTD Budgets", 6},
        {"YTD Variance", 7},
        {"YTD Variance %", 8},
        {"Selected Month Actuals", 9},
        {"Selected Month Budgets", 10},
        {"Selected Month Actuals vs Budgets", 11},
        {"Selected Month Variance %", 12},
        {"Previous Forecast for Selected Month", 13},
        {"Forecast vs Selected Month Actuals", 14},
        {"Full Year Forecast", 15},
        {"Full Year Budget", 16},
        {"Full Year Budget vs Forecast", 17},
        {"Full Year Forecast Variance to Budget %", 18},
        {"Run Rate", 19},
        {"Forecast vs Run Rate", 20},
        {"Forecast to Run Rate Variance %", 21}
    }
)

    Hi, WhaleWatcher222 

    You need to create a calculation table

    MeasureSelectorTable = DATATABLE(
        "Measure", STRING,
        "Sort Order", INTEGER,
        {
            {"Actuals", 1},
            {"Current Forecast", 2},
            {"Budgets", 3},
            {"Budgets vs Forecasts", 4},
            {"YTD Actuals", 5},
            {"YTD Budgets", 6},
            {"YTD Variance", 7},
            {"YTD Variance %", 8},
            {"Selected Month Actuals", 9},
            {"Selected Month Budgets", 10},
            {"Selected Month Actuals vs Budgets", 11},
            {"Selected Month Variance %", 12},
            {"Previous Forecast for Selected Month", 13},
            {"Forecast vs Selected Month Actuals", 14},
            {"Full Year Forecast", 15},
            {"Full Year Budget", 16},
            {"Full Year Budget vs Forecast", 17},
            {"Full Year Forecast Variance to Budget %", 18},
            {"Run Rate", 19},
            {"Forecast vs Run Rate", 20},
            {"Forecast to Run Rate Variance %", 21}
        }
    )

     

    Then create a slicer.

    Create a measure that uses the selected value from the slicer to determine which measure to display. Use the measure in your visuals to dynamically display the measure based on the slicer selection.
