How to write a DAX function when a Slicer value is selected/included?

[Anonymous]

I have a Slicer, i.e.

I want to write a logic DAX function using IF() like:

• If "Successful" is selected, then do A, otherwise do B
• "Successful" could be selected as a single or one of multiple selections, e.g.

Singe

In the multiple selections

• When "Successful" is not selected, e.g...

How to write the DAX function to identify whether or not "Successful" is selected?

@Anonymous ,

You may create a measure using dax below:

Result = IF(CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT(CONCATENATEX(ALLSELECTED('Table'), 'Table'[project_status], ""), "Successful") = TRUE(), "A", "B")

Note that this method breaks if you have two rows in the slicer table that contain the same text, e.g.

"Sales"

and "Sales (adjusted)". When "Sales (adjusted)" is selected in the slicer, the code with think that the "Sales" option was selected, when it wasn't.

Result = IF(CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT(CONCATENATEX(ALLSELECTED('Table'), 'Table'[project_status], ""), "Sales") = TRUE(), "A", "B")

The COUNTROWS method that @PaulDBrown posted might be more robust.

you can use SELECTEDVALUE in your measure. For example:

measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE(table[project_status]) = “Successful”,  [measure 1], [measure 2])

Thank you.

But it only works for a single selection. If I select multiple values including "Successful", it can't work...

I see @v-yuta-msft  has provided a solution (I wasn't even aware of the function CONTAINSSTRINGEXACT!)

Just as an alternative, I worked on a different approach:

Thanks.

In my case, need to change the last line into: if(calc>=1,"YES","NO")
