SQL to DAX

Hey everyone. 

 

I need to extract the value of one particular cell from a table and show it in a card. Or a text viewer. 

 

My initial thought is to create a measure for the same. But I have no idea of how to write a DAX query to extract the value of one particular cell using a DAX query. 

 

If I were to write an SQL query for the same, it would be like this. 

 

SELECT <COL1> FROM <TABLE> WHERE <COL2> = "X" AND <COL3> ="Y";

 

The output of this query will be a single cell value. Can someone help me convert this into a DAX query?

Is the cell numeric or text?

 

If numeric, you could use something like:

 

MyMeasure = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[COL1]),FILTER(Table,[COL2]="X" && [COL3] = "Y"))

If it is text, then I believe it would be:

 

MyMeasure = CALCULATE(VALUES(Table[COL1]),FILTER(Table,[COL2]="X" && [COL3] = "Y"))
