Switch for column instead of measure

Hi Power BI Community,

 

I am trying to use a switch to switch between columns. For example, if user selects 1, display column A, else column B. Is there a creative way to accomplish this?

 

Any feedback is highly appreciated.

The 'solution' link leads to a page that says "You do not have sufficient privileges for this resource or its parent to perform this action." How does one solve this issue?
