Showing multiple slicer values with IF statement

[joew98]

Hi,

I have a measure to show multiple values from a single slicer in a card using the CONCATENATEX function. The measure works as expected when it is in a card visual on its own. Below is the measure and the card visual showing two selected values.

BOC Selected 2 = CONCATENATEX(BOC, [BOC], " ,")

However, when I go to make a dynamic measure using the IF statement, the card displays the wrong values if multiple values are selected. Below is the measure used and the card showing multiple values, along with a card with the original measure shown above to show the measure works as expected.

Title BOC Label = IF(

    NOT ISBLANK(SELECTEDVALUE(BOC[BOC])),

    [BOC Selected 2],

    "All BOCs")

Does anybody know why the dynamic measure does not work with an IF statement and multiple selected values? The dynamic measure works if only a single value is selected.

Thanks!

Hi @joew98 

SELECTEDVALUE returns blank in your case because the column  beinig used in the formula is not filtered down to one distinct value only as you selected more than one item.  If your goal is to return the concatenated selected values of BOC column if there are 2 or more selected items, your condition should meet the isblank criterion instead.

=
IF ( ISBLANK ( SELECTEDVALUE ( BOC[BOC] ) ), [BOC Selected 2], "All BOCs" )

If you want to return whatever is/are selected:

=
IF (
    ISBLANK ( SELECTEDVALUE ( BOC[BOC] ) ) || HASONEVALUE ( BOC[BOC] ),
    [BOC Selected 2],
    "All BOCs"
)

Hi @danextian. Thanks for the response. This measure works with showing multiple values but the text "All BOCs" does not show if no value is selected. Do you know why?

=
IF (
    ISBLANK ( SELECTEDVALUE ( BOC[BOC] ) ) || HASONEVALUE ( BOC[BOC] ),
    [BOC Selected 2],
    "All BOCs"
)

Hi @joew98 ,

Please try:

Title BOC Label = 
VAR _select_count = COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('BOC'[BOC]))
VAR _all_count = COUNTROWS(ALL('BOC'[BOC]))
VAR _result = IF(_select_count=_all_count,"All BOCs",[BOC Selected 2])
RETURN
_result
