Multi-select slicer: how to set card to 0 for values that aren't selected

[Anonymous]

I have three cards, each showing a different total (for the number of clients who have received different services). The cards correspond to the categories in a slicer, and the slicer has to be multi-select. My client wants to the cards to show a 0 if the slicer value is not selected and the corresponding total if the value is selected.

I had a version of this that worked, but only because I set the slicer to single-select. When I change the slicer to multi-select and select more than 1 option, the cards all show 0.

Here's an example for one of the three cards that works with a single-select slicer but not with the multi-select slicer that I need. 

demo_total_training_consulting =

    VAR _service_type_selector = SELECTEDVALUE('aec_surveys Participants'[service_type], "All")

    RETURN

        SWITCH(TRUE(),

        _service_type_selector = "Training & Consulting", [service_total_training_consulting],

        0)

Is it possible to achieve what my client wants?

Thanks for your help, @Anonymous ! I was re-using some code without really thinking through what it meant. 

I was successful using a portion of your suggestion:

demo_total_training_consulting =

VAR _service_type_selector =

    VALUES ( 'aec_surveys Participants'[service_type] )

RETURN

        IF(

            "Training & Consulting" in _service_type_selector,                                                                                

            [service_total_training_consulting], 0)

Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your statement, I think your issue should be caused by "All" in SELECTEDVALUE(). 

The logic of SELECTEDVALUE('aec_surveys Participants'[service_type], "All") is when you selected multiple values or not select value it will return "All". 

Here I suggest you to try code as below to achieve your goal.

demo_total_training_consulting =
VAR _service_type_selector =
    VALUES ( 'aec_surveysParticipants'[service_type] )
RETURN
    IF(
        ISFILTERED('aec_surveys Participants'[service_type]),
        IF(
            "Training & Consulting" in _service_type_selector,                                                                                
            [service_total_training_consulting]),0),
        0
        )
