Hi Anonymous ,

 

First create a slicer table as below:

 

Then create a measure as below:

Measure = SWITCH(
    SELECTEDVALUE('Slicer table'[Slicers]),
    "Merchant",MAX('Table'[Merchant]),
    "Product",MAX('Table'[Product]),BLANK())

And you will see:

I also added another option of unpivoting the table to realize it in my sample .pbix file,you could turn to it to check which one is better.Pls check attachment for details.

 

 

 

Best Regards,
Kelly
