A measure that allows a column to be read without affecting

[Syndicate_Admin]

Good morning, I'm trying to create a measure that involves more than one table using the SELECTEDVALUE code, but for this, I first need to make another measure that allows me to read a column of unmodified text data, and that lets me present it in a table visual. Is there a way to achieve this?

Hi @Syndicate_Admin 

Yes, you can create a measure that involves data from multiple tables, and you can also leverage the SELECTEDVALUE function in DAX in Power BI.

To create a measure that displays unmodified text data in a table visual, you need to ensure that the relationships between the tables are set up correctly to allow the measure to retrieve and display the data as needed.

If your goal is to display specific text data based on some selection or condition, you can use the SELECTEDVALUE function to return the currently selected value in the specified column, optionally specifying a default value if there is no value.

Assuming you have two tables, Table1 and Table2, and you want to display a text value from Table2 based on a selection made in a visual that primarily uses Table1.

Ensure Relationships: Make sure there's a relationship between Table1 and Table2 on a column that both tables can logically join on. This relationship is crucial for measures to work across tables.

Creating a Measure for Text Data:
You want to create a measure in Table1 that fetches and displays text from Table2 based on the current selection or context established by Table1.
