SelectedValue w/Calculation group

Hello!

Attached file:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmBVCme14p7xszKiXcB2IOJ4Fwcw?e=c1JRod

 

I am wanting to return the value of a selected matrix row works perfectly for a tab w/no interaction with the calc group

The first tab of attached file - excludes interaction w/the calculation group - and works perfect.

SelectedValue.PNG

The second tab, with interactoin - results in a blank value.

 

Selected = 
Var CenterDesc = if(HASONEVALUE(CenterSetup[Description]),selectedvalue(CenterSetup[Description]),SELECTEDVALUE(CenterSetup[Group Description]))
Return if(HASONEVALUE(CenterSetup[Group Description]),CenterDesc,"Select Single Item")

 

The calculation group only references the "Calendar[Fin Year] column..

VAR ExclCurrentYrAvg =
    AVERAGEX (
        FILTER (
            VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Fin Year] ),
            'Calendar'[Fin Year] < YEAR ( TODAY () )
        ),
        CALCULATE ( SELECTEDMEASURE () )
    )
VAR AnnualValue =
    CALCULATE ( SELECTEDMEASURE () )
VAR ReportValue =
    IF ( HASONEVALUE ( 'CALENDAR'[Fin Year] ), AnnualValue, ExclCurrentYrAvg )
RETURN
    ReportValue

How can the initial "Selected' measure  be tweaked so it works with teh calculation group toggled.

 

Thanks!  I bet this is simple!

@Dellis81 make the following change in the calculation group

 

IF ( ISSELECTEDMEASURE ( [Selected] ),
    [Selected],
    VAR ExclCurrentYrAvg =
        AVERAGEX (
            FILTER (
                VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Fin Year] ),
                'Calendar'[Fin Year] < YEAR ( TODAY () )
            ),
            CALCULATE ( SELECTEDMEASURE () )
        )
    VAR AnnualValue =
        CALCULATE ( SELECTEDMEASURE () )
    VAR ReportValue =
        IF ( HASONEVALUE ( 'CALENDAR'[Fin Year] ), AnnualValue, ExclCurrentYrAvg )
    RETURN
        ReportValue
)

@Dellis81 Glad it worked out. Yes, it is very powerful but need to be careful when using Calculation Groups and need to think thru everything.

Thank you!   Finding calc groups to be very powerful - but yet difficult to manage with these type unexpected nuances,   You have always been helpful - thank you!
