I added Description column to my data.

For Example, there is a filter named Exercise and the data in the column is walk,run,yoga.

the problem is if i chose walk ,runor yoga it is showing the correct description.However EVEN IF THERE IS NOTHING SELECT IN THE COLUMN THE DESCRIPTION SHOWS THE WALK DESCRIPTION.

Hi, @Himaja95 

 

You can try the following methods.

Measure = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Description])

Hi,

Hope this helps.

Instead of BLANK() you can pass any text which you want to show.Capture2.PNG

Hi @Himaja95 

I am not very cleat
What I understood, I am trying to provide a solution
Create a measure and use the Measure in your visual

 

MeasureName = VAR _selection = SELECTEDVALUE('table'[walkzogaruncolumn])
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
_selection = "zoga","the text you want to show" or column,
_selection = "run","the text you want to show" or column,
_selection = "walking","the text you want to show" or column,
"default text you want to show when no filter selected" or column or BLANK()
)

 

 

Please use proper column and text in above dax
