SELECTEDVALUE doesn't works when filtering more than one region

Hi guys,

 

I have 4 regions: NA, LA, APAC, EMEA.

 

I have this main measure:

if(SELECTEDVALUE(DIM_REGION[DIVISION_NAME]) = "NORTH AMERICA", measure1 , measure2) )

 

This main measure works great if I only filter one region. The problem comes when I filter NORTH AMERICA and Any other region (LA for example). When this happens the main measure only use measure2 to make the calculation, this is because of the SELECTEDVALUE (he only works when only one region is selected).

 

Do you guys know any other function I can use to be able to filter by NORTH AMERICA and LATIN AMERICA with the result = measure1 + measure2?

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous 
The first clause should be testing if Regions 'HASONEVALUE', if so check if SELECTEDVALUE eq NA or LA otherwise return what you would like to display in that case.

What I need is:

 

Filter = NA:

measure1 = 100$

 

Filter  = LA

measure2 = 200$

 

Filter = ALL (LA and NA)

measure 1 + 2 = 300$

 

Here is another way

MyMeasure=
SWITCH(TRUE(),
SELECTEDVALUE(Mytable[Regions])="NA",[Measure1],
SELECTEDVALUE(Mytable[Regions])="LA",[Measure2],
[Measure1]+[Measure2])

Replace MyTable with you table name
