[FONT=&quot]Hi,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I am currently working on a portfolio analysis model where I need to do a specific operation on multiple selected deals.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]My goal here is to be able to run the CALCULATE() on more than one selection. Currently I can do it with one selection in my slicer using the VALUES() formula. It doesn't look like VALUES() can handle more than one selection because I keep getting the error: " A table of multiple values was supplied where value was expected"[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
In the filter of my CALCULATE I want the DimDeals table to find the selected deals of my slicer and then do the calculation only for those selected deals. What should I do to be able to CALCULATE on more than one selection? Can it be done in Power BI?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]See below a quick example of what I am trying to do:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Sensies_MultipleDEALS = CALCULATE(SUM([CashFlow]),DimDeals[DealName]=VALUES(DimDeals_Sensies[DealName_Sensies]))[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]where DimDeals_Sensies (slicer to select which deals to do the calculate on) is a table with all the name of the deals. I want to be able to select more than one deal.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The other deals that are not selected will have their own calculation but once I figure how to filter with multiple selection I guess it should be easy to do.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]DimDeals_Sensies slicer[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Deal 1 Selected[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Deal 2 Not Selected[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Deal 3 Not Selected[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Deal 4 Selected[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Deal 5 Not Selected[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]By selecting the Deal 1 and the Deal 4 my measure should return the sum of the Cashflows only for those deals:

[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Deal 1 Sum(CashFlows)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Deal 2 0[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Deal 3 0[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Deal 4 Sum(CashFlows)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Deal 5 0[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Thank you![/FONT]
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
I don't think I understand what you are tying to do at all. Why isn't the slicer just on the [Deal Name] column without the CALCULATE at all? If you need the separate DimDeals_Sensies for some reason (maybe it is a reduced list), then just create a relations ship between the two tables.

For the record, the issue you are reporting is not with VALUES(), but with your FILTER() expression. VALUES() is returning a table of more than one row, but you are comparing the returned table to a single value in [DealName] and the formula engine does not like that.

Otherwise, I echo gazpage's comment.
