SELECTEDVALUE without an alternate result
"SELECTEDVALUE without an alternate result" is one of the reliability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n measure(s) call SELECTEDVALUE with one argument. It is a low-severity finding: hygiene and maintainability, worth fixing when you next touch the object. Pass a second argument (a neutral value or an explicit message) so the multi-selection case is visible.
What is detected
n measure(s) call SELECTEDVALUE with one argument. When several values are selected the measure returns BLANK, and a blank in a KPI card reads as zero to a business user.
Why it matters
Hygiene and maintainability. Fix when touching the object.
How to fix it
Pass a second argument (a neutral value or an explicit message) so the multi-selection case is visible.
