    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Measure cannot be used as a slicer, but a similar effect can be achieved in other ways:

    Switch =
SWITCH (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table_2[Date] ),
    DATE ( 2022, 01, 01 ), [Measure1],
    DATE ( 2022, 01, 02 ), [Measure2],
    DATE ( 2022, 01, 03 ), [Measure3]
)

     

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.


    Best Regards,
    Henry

Hi Anonymous ,

 

You cannot use a measure directly in a slicer. However, there are some workarounds available. Have a look in here:

Solved: Cannot use measure in slicer - Microsoft Power BI Community

Power BI - Filter by a Measure in a Slicer - YouTube

 

Let me know if this works, or in case you get stuck somewhere.

 

Please, accept this answer as solution, if it solves your issue 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion. I couldn't make it work so far, but I managed to solve it for now by using a new input with the info that I wanted to store in the measure.
