Switch Columns Based on Filter

I would like to create a filter than changes which column is referenced based on selection.

 

For example:  I have a filter with (Selection 1, Selection 2, Selection 3)

 

When I choose Selection 1 I get:

 

MainSelection 1
A5
B4
C2
D5
E4
F2

 

 

 

Source Table

 

MainSelection 1Selection 2Selection 3
A523
B426
C224
D523
E422
F222

You could do that along the lines of:

Measure =
SWITCH( SELECTEDVALUE('Table1'[Column]),
"Selection 1", SUM([Selection 1]),
"Selection 2", SUM([Selection 2]),
"Selection 3", SUM([Selection 3])
)

Excellent that worked.

 

Now what if I want the column name to also update based on the selection?  With that formula my column header is always Measure.

I am not aware of any way to do that, attached is the closest I can come.
