Switch Function

Hello

 

I have a slicer, cotaining EURO, DOLLAR and LOCAL. This is from a table called CURRENCY TYPE.

 

I want to use this slicer to select certain columns from another table called INVOICES.

 

So if the slicer is on EURO , sum(column Euro Sales from INVOICES) , if DOLLAR , sum(column USD Sales from INVOICES) , Local Sales from INVOICES.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated??

Thanks

 

Gavin

try this:

Measure =
VAR Currency =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( CURRENCY_TYPE[<ColumnName>] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        Currency = "EURO", [Euro Sum Measure],
        Currency = "USD", [USD Sum Measure],
        Currency = "Local", [Local Sum Measure]
    )
