1. Create your measures like total Quantity, Total sales which can be used in your switching measure calculation.

Ex:1) Total Quantity = CALCULATE (SUM (Orders [Quantity]), USERELATIONSHIP (Orders [Order Date], Calendar [Date]))

2)Total Orders = CALCULATE (DISTINCTCOUNT (Orders [Order ID]), USERELATIONSHIP (Orders [Order Date], Calendar [Date]))

2. Create a table for slicer that should contain your measure names. And use this column as your slicer to display the measure in visual.
