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?

Hi @Anonymous,
For some reasons, for example performance, there are many restrictions. Please refer to this documentation.
