To change what if parameter value based on slicer

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am currently building a dashboard and have landed in this situation. I have a slicer, and based on the slicer value I want to change the value of what-if parameter.
Forex- I have a slicer on Categories with 2 options A and B. If I select A, the whatif parameter i.e Cvalue should be 8000 and if I select B the value should change to 4000. I f I select B, the whatif param should generate a series from 500 to 9000 with a step of 100 (Cvalue = GENERATESERIES(500, 9000, 100)). Is it possible to have one what-if parameter with 2 conditions?

My current whatif parameter just for A category- 

Cvalue = GENERATESERIES(2000, 20000, 1000)

Cvalue = SELECTEDVALUE('Cvalue'[Cvalue], 8000)

Desired-

I also have a reset button, that resets to the default value. It was working fine for one value but since now I have a slicer the reset button should be like - if A is selected the default value should be set to 8000 and if B is selected the default value should be 4000.

Further, the what-if param is used in DAX measure-

Std Cash = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Num]) * 'Cvalue'[Cvalue] * 0.01)

So based on slicer input from categories, the what-if parameter value should change and their respective values should be used in the Dax calculation.
I am attaching sample data as well.

Hi @Anonymous 

I can create a parameter table which shows different range based on different category.

Parameter =
UNION (
    ADDCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 500, 9000, 100 ), "category", "B" ),
    ADDCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 2000, 20000, 1000 ), "category", "A" )
)

measure

selectedvalue =
SWITCH (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Parameter[category] ),
    "A", SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Parameter'[Parameter], 8000 ),
    "B", SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Parameter'[Parameter], 4000 )
)

Best Regards

Hi @v-juanli-msft,

Thank you for your reply. I tried replicating the solution but I guess it's not fully working. Initially, it is working fine as if I select A the value is changing to 4000 and if I select B value changes to 8000. But the slider parameter is not working correctly. I want that if B is selected the parameter slider should only have the range of category B(500-9000) and if I select A the parameter slide should only have the range of A(2000-20000). Currently, it's showing all the range(A+B) and because of this, we are not able to slice it correctly.

Initially-

Sample issue(not  able to see A as this value is not in A, ideally based on the category selection the parameter slider range should change)-

Hi @Anonymous 

do you edit interactions for visuals?

maybe you can create two What-If parameters and switch between them based on the slicer selection?

Hi @lbendlin ,

 Thank you for reply. Actually the business need is to have one whatif parameter so that it's easier for the users who'll use the dashboard. But if in case I have 2 whatif parameters, how will I be able to switch based on the category. I am a bit confused how will it work.  It would be great if you could suggest.

Thank you.
