Is there a way to have a column in a SUMMARIZE change based on a selected Field Parameter?
Essentially something like below. I know the code fails, just to show example of what i want to achieve.
VAR __SelectedValue =
SELECTCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE ( 'Param', 'FP for Sup dev calculations'[Parameter], 'Param'[Parameter Fields] ),
'Param'[Parameter]
)
VAR _SelectedParam = IF ( COUNTROWS ( __SelectedValue ) = 1, MAX ( 'FP for Sup dev calculations'[Parameter] ), BLANK() )
VAR _Table = ADDCOLUMNS(SUMMARIZE(
Table,
Table[Supplier],
_SelectedParam
),
"total", SUM(Table[somevalue]))

It seems to work. I did go with another option instead though.
The reason i needed to do the SUMMARIZE with a field parameter was that I wanted to calculate and average from all rows based on the value in it's selected parameter so to speak. So i went with this, which worked as well
In below I essentially want to know that when Product Group is my selected parameter, I want to calculate Quartile values for what ever connection a row has to a specific product group, Sub Group when that's seleced and if non of those then for total supplier.
Total Lines Included =
VAR _SelectedParam =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Parameter'[Parameter Order] )
VAR _Table =
ADDCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE (
FactOrders,
DimItem[Articlecode],
DimItem[Product group],
DimItem[Sub category],
FactOrders[poNumber],
FactOrders[lineNumber],
FactOrders[supplierName],
FactOrders[actualLeadTime]
),
"Q3",
SWITCH (
_SelectedParam,
0,
CALCULATE (
PERCENTILE.EXC ( FactOrders[actualLeadTime], 0.75 ),
ALLEXCEPT (
FactOrders,
FactOrders[supplierName],
DimItem[Product group]
)
),
1,
CALCULATE (
PERCENTILE.EXC ( FactOrders[actualLeadTime], 0.75 ),
ALLEXCEPT (
FactOrders,
FactOrders[supplierName],
DimItem[Sub category]
)
),
2,
CALCULATE (
PERCENTILE.EXC ( FactOrders[actualLeadTime], 0.75 ),
ALLEXCEPT (
FactOrders,
FactOrders[supplierName]

2,
CALCULATE (
PERCENTILE.EXC ( FactOrders[actualLeadTime], 0.25 ),
ALLEXCEPT (
FactOrders,
FactOrders[supplierName]
)
)
)
)
VAR _FilteredTable =
FILTER (
_Table,
FactOrders[actualLeadTime] >= [Q1] - ( 1.5 * [Q3] - [Q1] )
&& FactOrders[actualLeadTime] <= [Q3] + ( 1.5 * [Q3] - [Q1] )
)
VAR _Rows = COUNTROWS(_FilteredTable)
RETURN
IF(ISBLANK(_Rows),0,_Rows)

Hi @Anonymous - you need to create a field parameter in Power BI. This allows users to switch between different fields dynamically.
VAR __SelectedValue =
SELECTEDVALUE('FP for Sup dev calculations'[Parameter])
RETURN
SWITCH (
__SelectedValue,
"Parameter1", SUMMARIZE(Table, Table[Supplier], Table[Parameter1], "Total", SUM(Table[somevalue])),
"Parameter2", SUMMARIZE(Table, Table[Supplier], Table[Parameter2], "Total", SUM(Table[somevalue])),
"Parameter3", SUMMARIZE(Table, Table[Supplier], Table[Parameter3], "Total", SUM(Table[somevalue])),
// Add more cases as needed
BLANK()
)
Can you try the below measure to change dynamically columns in a summarize based on the selected field parameter in Power BI.
DynamicSummarize =
VAR __SelectedValue =
SELECTEDVALUE('FP for Sup dev calculations'[Parameter])
RETURN
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
__SelectedValue = "Parameter1", CALCULATETABLE(
ADDCOLUMNS(
SUMMARIZE(Table, Table[Supplier], Table[Parameter1]),
"Total", SUM(Table[somevalue])
)
),
__SelectedValue = "Parameter2", CALCULATETABLE(
ADDCOLUMNS(
SUMMARIZE(Table, Table[Supplier], Table[Parameter2]),
"Total", SUM(Table[somevalue])
)
),
__SelectedValue = "Parameter3", CALCULATETABLE(
ADDCOLUMNS(
SUMMARIZE(Table, Table[Supplier], Table[Parameter3]),
"Total", SUM(Table[somevalue])
)
),
// Add more cases as needed
BLANK()
)
Try the above logic
