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:
BTW, .pbix file attached.
