How to refer to columns from string variable?
Measure=
var strVar = "Table1[Column1]"
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM(strVar))
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Analitika ,
Try this:
1. Enter data to create a ColumnName table.
2. Create a Measure like so:
Measure =
VAR t1 =
ADDCOLUMNS (
SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "ColumnValue", 'Table'[Column1] ),
"ColumnName", "Column1"
)
VAR t2 =
ADDCOLUMNS (
SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "ColumnValue", 'Table'[Column2] ),
"ColumnName", "Column2"
)
VAR t3 =
ADDCOLUMNS (
SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "ColumnValue", 'Table'[Column3] ),
"ColumnName", "Column3"
)
VAR t =
UNION ( t1, t2, t3 )
VAR SelectedColum =
SELECTEDVALUE ( ColumnName[ColumnName] )
RETURN
SUMX ( FILTER ( t, [ColumnName] = SelectedColum ), [ColumnValue] )
Then, you will get this:
