Using SWITCH or IF functions to determine which SELECTEDVALUE statement to use

I have situation depending on slicer selection to execute the correct  SelectedValue function.  For some reason I am pulling all records, not just the records being requested.

The formats I have tried are as follows

 

SWITCH( _case,
               1, SelectedValue(slicervalue))

IF ( _case = 1, SelectedValue(slicervalue))

 

I have researched and attemted many optons with none of them working.

 

What is happening and how can I make this work.

 

I appreciate your help.

Is it a measure you are creating(you cannot create a column) ? With the measure switch usually goes with min/max

switch(max(index),

1, SelectedValue())

Thanks for the quick reply.  I cannot use the MAX function as I am using the variable  _sterm.   I also tried with the If statement to no success.

 

Below is my measure, the objective is to substitute one of the following Fall, Spring, or Summer into the variable _iterm , it should only return the records for one off these terms.   If I make _iterm = SELECTEDVALUE(FallFilter[Term]) only he Fall records are returned.

 

Any advice you can offer is appreciated.,

EnrollmentCountX =

VAR _program = Enrollment[ProgramSelection]
VAR _termyear = Enrollment[TermYearSelection]
VAR _intdate =(Int(Right(Enrollment[AYYearSelection],4)))

VAR _sterm = Left(SELECTEDVALUE(Enrollment[Start Term and Year]) ,2)

VAR _iterm = If (_sterm = "Fa",  SELECTEDVALUE(FallFilter[Term]))
                   
VAR _enddate = SWITCH(_intdate,
                    2024, TODAY(),
                    2023, TODAY(),
                    2022,  EDATE(TODAY(), -12),
                    2021,  EDATE(TODAY(), -24),
                    2020,  EDATE(TODAY(), -36),
                    2019,  EDATE(TODAY(), -48)
                  )
 
VAR _count =    CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Enrollment),
                All(Enrollment[Deposit Intent to Enroll Date/Time]),
                Enrollment[Program] = _program,
                Enrollment[Start Term and Year] = _termyear,
                Enrollment[Deposit Intent to Enroll] = "Yes",
                Enrollment[Deposit Intent to Enroll Date/Time] <= _enddate,
                FILTER('Enrollment',CONTAINSSTRING('Enrollment'[Start Term and Year], _iterm)))
RETURN
_count
