Hi @antoniofallucca,

 

You want to refer to the selected value of query parameter in DAX formula, right? Currently, we cannot use a parameter in a calculated measure/column directly. To work around this requirement, we could create a query to store parameter value in a dataset, and then pass this dataset value to function. For detailed steps, please see: Passing Parameters in measures
