    Cool Baskar! So you create a var in order to avoid writing the if statement inside switch? Thanks!

      Yes u r correct my friend. Var is more powerfull function in DAX.

       

      It will help u in many situation, and good performance too.

        Thanks Baskar! Can this var used in another measure? eg

         

        SWITCH(Filter_Value,"MTD",SUM('MTD),"QTD",SUM(QTD),"YTD",SUM(YTD),"")
