    Hi Milozebre ，

     

    You can modify your formula as below:

     

    Measure = SWITCH(SELECTVALUE(SI(GAUCHE(CV_calculation_rule;1)),"1";SELECTEDVALUE(CK2);
"2";SELECTEDVALUE(CL2);"4";SELECTEDVALUE(CM2);RECHERCHEV(A2;'Comp database'!A:V;22;0))

     

    I'm not sure what does "SI""GAUCHE""RECHERCHEV"mean?Are they all tables' names?The measure can be simply described as :

     

    measure= SWITCH([measure],"case 1","value 1","case 2,"value 2",...[else])

     

     

    Best Regards,
    Kelly

measure= SWITCH([measure],"case 1","value 1","case 2,"value 2",...[else])

    Hello v-kelly-msft 

     

    Thank you for your reply. 

     

    In english its = If(Left(CV_calculation_rule) = "1",CK3;(SI(Left(CV_calculation_rule)="2";CL3;IF(Left(CV_calculation_rule) ="4", CM3;(Vlookup(A3;'Comp database'!A:V;22;0))))

     

    CV_calculation-rule = name of my list

    CK3, CL3, CM3 = columns

    Comp database = name of a sheet.

     

    In my case, I dont have the sheet in Power BI 

     

    If I selected 1 from my parameter then do (columnA * Column B or a measure who do that); If I selected 2 from parameter then do  (another calcul or measure), ...

     

    I have only 4 choices.

    And I'm talking about a parameter, but is it really a parameter that I have to do? And if so, is it a parameter that I create so that it is requested at startup (Transform Data - Manage parameter) or Modeling New parameter what if
