I am trying to create a disconnected slicer with the combination of Power BI and SSAS Live connection. My measure looks something like this:
=SWITCH(TRUE()
,SELECTEDVALUE(UOM[UOM])="Cases",'Metrics Demand Plan'[ISS_CASE_AMT]
,SELECTEDVALUE(UOM[UOM])="Pounds",'Metrics Demand Plan'[ISS_POUND_AMT]
,SELECTEDVALUE(UOM[UOM])="Gallons",'Metrics Demand Plan'[ISS_GAL_AMT]
,SELECTEDVALUE(UOM[UOM])="Eaches",'Metrics Demand Plan'[ISS_EACH_AMT]
,SELECTEDVALUE(UOM[UOM])="Pallets",'Metrics Demand Plan'[ISS_PAL_AMT]
,SELECTEDVALUE(UOM[UOM])="Dozens",'Metrics Demand Plan'[ISS_DOZ_AMT]
)
That seems to work fine in Power BI with an imported data source. However, it does not seem to work when I put the same formula in a SSAS tabular model and try to use it with a live connection. My assumption was that DAX would work fine regardless of what sources I was using and I assumed that the Tabular model for SSAS would work the same as the model in Power BI. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is this not possible?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous,
For some reasons, for example performance, there are many restrictions. Please refer to this documentation.
