Display Text from Column in Measure?

[em_joyce]

Hi there! 

So I'm working on this report that can either select one or multiple options on the name filter to display results. The data include a column of student names and their final grades on each subjects. 

So I'd like a header using card visual to display the unique student name, but says "multiple students selected" when more than one students are selected. I created a calculated measure as below: 

Measure Header = IF(ISFILTERED(Grade[Student Name]),Grade[Student Name],"Multiple Students Selected")

The part in red does not work, if I replace it with "" then it's ok... but I want to show the student selected!! How do I do that? Help!!

Try like

Measure Header = IF(ISFILTERED(Grade[Student Name]),firstnonblank(Grade[Student Name],blank()),"Multiple Students Selected")

Try using the SELECTEDVALUE DAX function.

It should look something like this:

Measure = SELECTEDVALUE([Student Name], "Multiple students selected.")
