DAX Problem-Dynamic Comments Based on Supplier Selection

How to make a dynamic comment text box in Power BI that changes based on the selected supplier.

Scenario

  • If no supplier is selected → the comment box should be empty.
  • If one supplier is selected → show the supplier name and its comment.
  • If multiple suppliers are selected → keep it blank (or show a message if needed).

Solution

Create a DAX measure like this:


Explanation

  • HASONEVALUE() checks if exactly one supplier is selected.
  • If not, return BLANK() (so the card/text box stays empty).
  • If yes, concatenate the supplier name and its comment using &.

How to Display

  • Use a Card visual or a Text box with conditional formatting bound to this measure.
  • When blank, the card will appear empty; when a supplier is selected, it shows "Supplier Engineer - Comment".

💡 Extra Tip: You can add logic to handle multiple comments or show a friendly message when multiple suppliers are selected.
