Changing metric dynamically in chart.

Hi All,

I have two tables. One is fact table which contains different metrics(Budget, SalesAmount) and another one is the static table which has a single column of metric names.

 

Here comes  requirement,

1) Need to add slicer which contains metric names.

2) Bar chart which metric. By default, it will show the data for the budget. We should have the capability to change bar chart metric based on the slicer.

Please provide your best possible solution for this.

    I think a workaround can be using a measure like below. The table Metrics is the table containing measure names.

     

    Measure =
    IF (
        ISFILTERED ( Metrics[Name] ),
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            LASTNONBLANK ( Metrics[Name], "" ) = "Measure1", [Measure1],
            LASTNONBLANK ( Metrics[Name], "" ) = "Measure2", [Measure2],
            [Other measure]
        ),
        [A default measure]
    )
