Passing Parameter Results to New Measure Calculation

[Index_Match]

Hi all, 

I'm working on building a staffing calculator. Essentially the dashboard user is able to update inputs on the fly using PowerBI parameters which then feed into into a bullet chart that shows current headcount vs. what the calculator says we need (see below). However, the tricky part is that some roles need to be calculated based off the results returned for the subordinate roles. I've posted a screenshot below as an example. I'm having trouble creating a measure that combines the results for the associate roles and also calculates the manager headcount based off the projected heacount of the corresponding associate role. 

Let me know if you need any more details and I appreciate the help!

Hi @Index_Match ,

Please use switch function to create measure like below:

Measure = SWITCH(TRUE(),
                MAX('Table'[Column1])="aa",Parameter[Parameter Value],
                MAX('Table'[Column1])="am",Parameter[Parameter Value]/10,
                MAX('Table'[Column1])="fa",'Parameter 2'[Parameter Value 2],
                MAX('Table'[Column1])="fm",'Parameter 2'[Parameter Value 2]/5)

Best Regards,
Liang

This was one component of the overall solution. I also had to use the VAR function to find the total headcount for just "aa" and then use that measure in place of the parameters you have shown. 

Headcount for AA =

VAR

AA= FILTER(ALL(Table1,Table1[Role]="AA")

RETURN

CALCULATE([Headcount],AA)
