Hello SwathiGanesh,

 

You can use the SWITCH function to check which column is selected.

 

Uniques =
VAR SelectedColumn = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Parameter])
VAR sumfc = SUM('Table'[Salary])
VAR SUMMARISE =
    SWITCH(
        SelectedColumn,
        "Partnername", SUMMARIZE('Table', 'Table'[Partnername], "Average", sumfc),
        "partnerTYPE", SUMMARIZE('Table', 'Table'[partnerTYPE], "Average", sumfc),
        "partnercountry", SUMMARIZE('Table', 'Table'[partnercountry], "Average", sumfc)
    )
RETURN
    IF(
        OR(
            ISINSCOPE('Table'[Partnername]),
            OR(ISINSCOPE('Table'[partnerTYPE]), ISINSCOPE('Table'[partnercountry]))
        ),
        SUM('Table'[Salary]),
        DIVIDE(sumfc, COUNTROWS(SUMMARISE))
    )

 

Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

How to switch when two columns are selected and I need to summarize into one table

    SwathiGanesh, you can use the UNION function to combine the data from both columns into a single table.

     

    UnionTable =
UNION(
    SELECTCOLUMNS(Table1, "Column1", [Column1], "Column2", BLANK()),
    SELECTCOLUMNS(Table2, "Column1", BLANK(), "Column2", [Column2])
)

     

    The SELECTCOLUMNS function is used to select the columns from each table that you want to include in the UnionTable.
