Apparently you cannot pass an argument to a DAX measure. In reality, you can interact with a slicer that has the only purpose of representing a parameter used by a DAX formula. You just create a table in the Power Pivot or Tabular data model, without creating any relationship with other tables in the same data model. This techniques is similar to the tool dimension you can implement in Multidimensional, but is simpler and somewhat more flexible. We described the DAX technique in Parameter Table pattern, published on www.daxpatterns.com.
In the article we provided several examples, including how to implement cascading parameters using two slicers and presenting only valid combinations of parameters. If you miss the DateTool Dimension in Tabular, you will also see how to implement a Period table in DAX using the Parameter Table pattern, which is a good technique for injecting arguments and selecting algorithms in simulation models.
