Order a column by using slicer selection from another table

Hi guys, can somebody help me with this issue?
I need to order product type based on slicer selection channel from another table.
If I choose eshop, I want my product type order by column index eshop.
If I choose B&M, I wan my product type order by column index B&M.
I tried to add new column, but it is not working:
DynamicSortIndex =
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE(FACT_Sales[Channels]) = "B&M",
DIM_Product[Index B&M],
DIM_Product[Index eshop])

my tables: FACT_Sales[Channels]

Hi @kovacikm78 

 

Add a measure to your model using the following DAX:

DynamicSortIndex = 
VAR SelectedChannel = SELECTEDVALUE(FACT_Sales[Channels])
RETURN
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    SelectedChannel = "B&M", MAX(DIM_Product[Index B&M]),
    SelectedChannel = "eshop", MAX(DIM_Product[Index eshop]),
    MAX(DIM_Product[Index B&M]) -- Default or when no selection is made
)
