SELECTEDVALUE Error

[MKPA]

Hello, I encountered an error with DAX measure. 

The error is: 

A function SELECTEDVALUE has been used in a scalar predicate filter expression. This is not allowed

The measure is: 

CALCULATE([product_count],all(DIM_PRODUCT), DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_GROUP] = SELECTEDVALUE(DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_GROUP]) &&
DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_SUPGROUP] = SELECTEDVALUE(DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_SUPGROUP]))

how to fix this error?

Hi @MKPA ,

Thanks for the reply from @Uzi2019 , please allow me to provide another insight:

Problems arise with direct use in Filter expressions because the Filter context therein requires Boolean expressions or Table Filter expressions, rather than using scalar values directly.

You can use variables to store SELECTEDVALUE(DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_GROUP]) and SELECTEDVALUE(DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_SUPGROUP]), and then replace them with your original Measure syntax, for example:

Measure = 
VAR _a= SELECTEDVALUE(DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_GROUP])
VAR _b= SELECTEDVALUE(DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_SUPGROUP])
RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        [product_count],
        ALL(DIM_PRODUCT),
        DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_GROUP] = _a,
        DIM_PRODUCT[PRODUCT_SUPGROUP] = _b
    )

If that does not solve your problem, please provide the pbix file to help you further, and remember not to log into your account when uploading the pbix file in Power BI Desktop.

Hi @MKPA 
Try to use VALUES() instead of selectedvalues.

I hope It may resolved your issue!
