Hi! 
I wanted to use Visual Calculations with Field Parameters as measures, not dimensions.
So, I have a measure slicer where I can pick the measure I want to display, and wanted to create a Y axis Max visual calculation. It seems to grab only the measure selected, and not the Selectedvalue of the field parameter. So when I switch the measure, it gives an error, as the VC is not able to change dinamically along with the FP.

Is there a solution for this? 
Thanks a lot!!

    Hi, thanks for chiming in! This is expected behavior at the moment since when you switch out the field parameter value the selected measure actually disappears from the visual. There is no way to get the selected value of the field parameter unfortunately.

      Thanks for the speedy response!

      When you say "at the moment", this means it would eventually get solved? Is it on the roadmap?

        what I meant is that we are aware but haven't found a solution we like yet. It's on the roadmap, but I don't have a date to share.
