Use slicer value in conditional

I want to be able to populate the Category column depending on the values selected by the slicer.

 

Slicer 1

1, 2 or 3

Slicer 2

4, 5 or 6

 

ValueCategory
1

A

2A
3A
4B
5B
6C
7C
  

 

 

 

 

Category = 
var category_value_A = selectedvalue([Slicer 1])
var category_value_B = selectedvalue(Slicer 2])
return
switch(TRUE, [Value] <= category_value_A, "A",
       [Value] <= category_value_B, "B",
        "C")

 

 

I have tried the code above and it only works for the first condition and then exits the switch.

Hi  @theaddies ,

 

May I ask if your [Slicer1] and [Slicer2] are the following two columns?

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

 

Measure =
var category_value_A = MAXX(ALLSELECTED(Slicer_Table),[Slicer1])
var category_value_B = MAXX(ALLSELECTED(Slicer_Table),[Slicer2])
return
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    MAX('Table'[Value])<=category_value_A,"A",
    MAX('Table'[Value])>category_value_A&&MAX('Table'[Value])<=category_value_B,"B",
    "C")

 

2. Result:

Each slicer is a generated series.  The Maxx function does not work as it selects the final value in the series.

Try the below.

 

Category = 
var category_value_A = selectedvalue([Slicer 1])
var category_value_B = selectedvalue(Slicer 2])
return
switch(TRUE, [Value] <= category_value_A, "A",
       [Value] >= category_value_B, "B",
        "C")
