    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Power bi not support dynamic calculate column based on slicer, you can use measure to instead the column.

     

    Create a table to store value.

    Selector Table = VALUES('sample'[Recommendation Id])

     

    Add measure to Selector table to get selected value.

    selected = IF(HASONEVALUE('Selector Table'[Recommendation Id]),VALUES('Selector Table'[Recommendation Id]),BLANK())

     

    Add measure to original table to calculate based on slicer.

    Check = 
IF(MAX('sample'[Recommendation Id])=[selected],[selected],"Other Vendors")
