Hi @Nikhilpowerbi

 

Try the following

 

1. Create table called as Measure with column names - MeasureId, MeasureName

    Eg :  Row 1 -  1, Quantity

            Row 2 - 1, Value

   Create as many rows as you want depending on the number of measures you wish to alternate.

 

2.  Create table called TopTable as follows :

         TopTable =
                           Union (
                                  TOPN (10, SUMMARIZE('Product',[Item],"Qty",sum('Product'[StockAvailable]),"Value",0),[Qty],DESC ),
                                  TOPN (10, SUMMARIZE('Product',[Item],"Qty",0,"Value",sum('Product'[StockValue])),[Value],DESC )
                             )

           This is creating  a table with columns Item, Sum(StockQty), sum(StockValue)  from the Product table. Replace your fact table names accordingly.

 

3.  Create measure ShowMeasure as

     ShowMeasure = switch (TRUE,
              Min ( 'Measure'[MeasureID] ) = 1,
                                       SUM(TopTable[Qty] ),
                            Min ( 'Measure'[MeasureID] ) = 2,
                          SUM ( TopTable[Value] ))

 

4. Create a Filter using the MeasureName at Step 1.

5.  Create a report using Item from TopTable and ShowMeasure and in the filters for the report for ShowMeasure set not equal to zero.

6. This will work.
