SWITCH with two results possible?

Hello,

Is it possible to write the following two measures in one measure? I use it for a bar chart and I want to see by selection the combinations AB/AC/AD/AE. 

 

Display_Value_1 =

VAR _SelectedMeasure = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Measure_Selection'[Measure] )

RETURN

SWITCH( _SelectedMeasure,

"SelectionA",[A],

"SelectionB",[A],

"SelectionC",[A],

"SelectionD",[A] )

 

Display_Value_2 =

VAR _SelectedMeasure = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Measure_Selection'[Measure] )

RETURN

SWITCH( _SelectedMeasure,

"SelectionA",[B],

"SelectionB",[C],

"SelectionC",[D],

"SelectionD",[E] )

@Pikachu-Power Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?


Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

The problem is with two measures in the values a measure in legend is not accepted. 

Hi @Pikachu-Power,

You can create a new table with two display values and use on raw chart legend fields, then you can use the following measure formula to switch between different results based on current axis and legend group:

Dyanmic measure =
VAR selectedDisplay =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Cateogry[DisplayValue] )
VAR _SelectedMeasure =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Measure_Selection'[Measure] )
RETURN
    IF (
        selectedDisplay = "Display_Value_1",
        [A],
        SWITCH (
            _SelectedMeasure,
            "SelectionA", [B],
            "SelectionB", [C],
            "SelectionC", [D],
            "SelectionD", [E]
        )
    )

Hm... seems not to work. Can you explain the steps in more detail? How does the new table look like and what do you mean with use on raw chart legend fields?

 

Do I put the Dyanmic measure in the value field of a bar chart? Then it only shows [A] and not the combination of [A] and [B] or [A] and [C] or and so on.

 

When you have two measures in the value field of a bar chart then a legend field dont accept a measure right?

Hi @Pikachu-Power,

Perhaps you can share a pbix file with some dummy data then I can build a sample visual to display these results.
