Switch From Sum To Count with Radio Button

[WilliamMunguti]

Is there a way to switch from sum to count of a value in powerbi? and not on a chart level while creating the visual? but have a drop down that lets you select whether to sum up the values along a column or to count them

Hi @WilliamMunguti ,

You can do this using bookmarks or DAX, but you mentioned "not on a chart level while creating the visual", so you can only do it via DAX.

Here is my sample data:

Create another table:

And use this table to create a slicer:

Use these DAXs to create measures:

Sum = SUM('Table'[Value])

Count = COUNT('Table'[Value])

Output = 
SWITCH(
    SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[Button]),
    "COUNT", [Count],
    "SUM", [Sum],
    [Sum]
)

And the final output is as below:
