New challenge for Dynamic Measures

Dear Power BI Experts,

I have searched through the community and other sources several time, but can't find a solution for below, there I appreciate any wise comment on this:

 

With Tabular editor I have managed to create calculation groups for

- Dynamic Measure Selection (allowing to switch between Revenue, COGS etc. using a slicer)

- "TimeInteligence" (allowing to switch the selected measure from YTD to MTD to QTD etc.

 

I found this all is well documented in several articles.

What I would like to achive now is the following:

 

1. I added a new datatable for selection of "LC" and "GC" (Local Currency and Group Currency)

2. Depending on the selection of "LC" or "GC" and also depending on the selected measure (e.g. "Revenue" or "COGS") I would like to dynamically use the related Measure (in this example "Revenue LC", "Revenue GC", "COGS GC" or "COGS LC").

 

For my understanding this would reduce the number of measures in my data modell by 50%, as I have most measures two times, for LC and GC.

 

Many thanks in advance for your helpful support,

best wishes, Gunnar

  • GHerz,

     

    You can get the selected Currency with SELECTEDVALUE:

     

    SELECTEDVALUE ( CurrencyTable[Currency] )

     

    You can identify the selected measure with ISSELECTEDMEASURE:

     

    ISSELECTEDMEASURE ( [Revenue] )

     

    Use these expressions in a SWITCH statement to determine which measure to use.

    Thank you very much for your comments. That helped me understanding that I was on the right way (trying with switch) and then I found an error in my statements that I had overseen for a while ... Many thanks, Gunnar
