ISSELECTEDMEASURE DAX Function (Information)

Returns true if one of the specified measures is currently being evaluated.

Syntax

ISSELECTEDMEASURE ( <Measure> [, <Measure> [, … ] ] )
Parameter Attributes Description
Measure Repeatable

Measure,…

Return values

Scalar A single boolean value.

True whether the measure that is currently in context is one of those specified in the list of parameters.

Remarks

ISSELECTEDMEASURE does not recognize a query measure. Therefore, if a model measure is redefined and used in a DAX query, ISSELECTEDMEASURE does not recognize that measure, whereas SELECTEDMEASURENAME still correctly intercepts the measure name.
