Hi @Anonymous ,

Try this:

Measure Selection1 = 
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Column] ) = "SUM NET_SALES",
    [SUM NET_SALES],
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Column] ) = "NET_SALES GTH (%)",
        [NET_SALES GTH (%)],
        IF (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Column] ) = "SUM EBITDA",
            [SUM EBITDA],
            IF (
                SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Column] ) = "EBITDA_GTH (%)",
                [EBITDA_GTH (%)],
                BLANK ()
            )
        )
    )
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

Just like what @Anonymous  said, Power BI doesn't support to select columns using slicer. What's your purpose? Maybe I can provide you with other workarounds.

Hi @Icey ,

 

yes. I need to get the measure names in filter.

 

I have tried the below formula, but the data is not showing up. When i use the data directly without using formula the data is showing in chart type. Let me know the alternate method if anything available.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try this:

Measure =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[column] ) = "Net Sales (RS mn)",
    [SUM NET_SALES],
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[column] ) = "Net Sales Gth(%)",
        [NET_SALES GTH (%)],
        IF (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[column] ) = "EBITDA (RS mn)",
            [SUM EBITDA],
            IF (
                SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[column] ) = "EBITDA (%)",
                [EBITDA_GTH (%)],
                BLANK ()
            )
        )
    )
)

 

Keep 'Table' and 'Join BI...' independent of each other.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can share your PBIX file without privacy information by OneDrive for Business. And attach the link.

Is there a chance to get the pbix file containing the solution?

I'm trying to reproduce this but it doesn't work for me.
