How to use DAX formula SELECTEDVALUE with Field Parameters

Dear Power BI community,

 

I would like to ask for your help as I am trying to use DAX formula SELECTEDVALUE based on field parameters, however it is not doable based on the following error message:

IF user selects between two value the (Amount USD & Amount LCL) the calculation should be changing based on that:

DAX formula :

Field Parameter:

Visualization selection for Amount USD & Amount LCL:

Would it be possible for someone to help how to change the DAX formula SELECTEDVALUE part to make it work?

Thank you for your advice in advance.

 

Wishing you a wonderful date.

 

Adam

Can you perhaps upload a example file without sensitve datas? 
Other post to field parameters 
It seems to be possible. Perhaps try first to access only to the field parameter value?

Did you try to add a "calculate" in the var Lastyeardynamic:
Lastyeardynamic = calculate(max(DWH[year])) ?

I have added the year column values explicitly instead of using a MIN & MAX measure to find the first and last year in the year column.

 

I am not 100% clear how it connects to the original issue to be honest but solved the problem.

Oh thank you I have added calculate and it made the formula more dynamic. Thank you.

One question: Why it is important to use field parameters instead of a regular table / calculated table?

Thank you Andhi for your quick reply.

 

Actually the main reason for that is that this was the only way (based on my knowledge) how I could dynamically change the column chart visualization Y axis between amount usd and amount lcl based on the field parameter selection:

Is it inefficient to do so?

Thank you,
