    Hello, thank you for your answers. So, both of your options work. But I did it this way:

     

    Choices = IF ( SELECTEDVALUE(Choice[Button]) = "Gross", [Gross], IF(SELECTEDVALUE(Choice[Button]) = "Net", [Net], IF(SELECTEDVALUE(Choice[Button]) = "Profit", [Profit])))
     
    This worked fine for me.
     
    Now, I have another question.
     
    I need to calculate values based on the year that is highlighted through a slicer. I need a formula that calculates the values of the last year based o nthe year that is selected. I did that through this:
     
    Last_year_values =
    VAR SelectedMetrik = SELECTEDVALUE(Choice[Button])
    VAR CurrentYear = YEAR(MAX(Dates[Date]))
    VAR LastYear = CurrentYear - 1
    RETURN
    CALCULATE (
    SWITCH (
    SelectedMetrik,
    "Gross", [Gross],
    "Net", [Net],
    "Profit", [Profit]
    ),
    FILTER ( ALL(Dates), YEAR(Dates[Date]) = LastYear )
    )
     
    That workes just fine. However, if I select a specific month of the current year, it is supposed to calculate last years values only for that selected month. But I fail in achieving this. Could you help me with that too? 🙂
