DAX to change the content of a field?

[jsabo]

Hey guys,

Putting together a project which will mash up our company data with publicly available data from congress. I am putting together a little information section of the report which will have the Name, Party, State etc. of the selected Congressman. But I do not want the text to be populated unless a selection on the filter has been made. I tried the below with a calculated column, but it didn't work:

Name_Dynamic = if(COUNTROWS('Legislators - ALL API') > 1, "Select a Congressman", 'Legislators - ALL API'[name])

any ideas?

You need a measure, not a calculated column. If you put this measure in a pivot table and then filter the correct table, it should work
