Step 1: Creating a Support Table containing DAX Measures List
Tip: Assign appropriate table name
Add the table to the data model:
Step 2: Add DAX measures using SWITCH
Default Measure Selection = MIN(MeasureTable[Index])
Measure Switch
=SWITCH(
[Default Measure Selection],
1,[Orders by Ship Date],
2,[Returned Orders],
3,FORMAT([Returned Sales Amt],"0,0.0"),
4,FORMAT([Sales Amount],"0,0.0"),
5,[Total Orders]
)
Step 3: Add a Slicer in the Pivot Table for Measure Name
Add a slicer with the Measure Name column.
Ensure one item is selected in slicer before we add the DAX measure in the Pivot.
Step 4: Add the DAX measure in the Pivot
And that is it!
