Condition based dax situation

Hello!
I have a following data and I want to write a dax:

IDnamesubjecttest datecheck dateO/p
1AMath11/1/20155/2/2015retake the test
1AScience12/1/2015 retake the test
1AKT12/1/2015 retake the test
1AENVR 5/2/2015retake the test
2BScience11/1/201511/1/2015retake the test
2BMath  retake the test
2BKT  retake the test
2BENVR11/1/201511/1/2015retake the test
2BJBP 5/2/2015retake the test
2BHistory12/1/2015 retake the test
3CMath  test pending
3CScience  test pending
3CKT  test pending
4DMath11/1/20159/1/2015check pending
5EMath12/2/201512/2/2015check pending
6FScience  retake the test
6FMath11/1/2015 retake the test
7GMath  retake the test
7GScience12/1/201512/1/2015retake the test
7GKT11/1/20155/2/2015retake the test
7GENVR  retake the test
7GJBP12/2/20155/2/2015retake the test


In above table O/p column is what I want to achieve and below are he conditions for it:

o/p-Conditions-> cond 1 should be checked first if not met then it should move to 2nd and so on, but if 1st cond is met then it should stop ther only and reflect that result in all cells under o/p column for that emp 
1) If both test and review date is blank for all the subject for that particular employee only then a column cell should show "test pending" 
2) If any of the cell from test date or check date has a date then the whole cells under that employee should turn to "retake the test" 

3) If both the columns i.e. test date and check date has a date and if the check date is less than or equal to test date then it should show "check pending"

 
4) Else "NA" 


Thanks!

  • Hi Jatin77 ,

     

    You can try this method:

    O/p =
    VAR _BlankT =
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[test date] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[ID] ) )
        )
    VAR _BlankC =
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[test date] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[ID] ) )
        )
    VAR _CountT =
        CALCULATE ( COUNTA ( 'Table'[test date] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] ) )
    VAR _CountC =
        CALCULATE ( COUNTA ( 'Table'[check date] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] ) )
    VAR _TotalCountID =
        CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] ) )
    RETURN
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            _BlankC = BLANK ()
                && _BlankT = BLANK (), "test pending",
            _CountT <> _TotalCountID
                || _CountC <> _TotalCountID, "retake the test",
            _CountT = _TotalCountID
                && _CountC = _TotalCountID
                && 'Table'[check date] <= 'Table'[test date], "check pending",
            BLANK (), "N/A"
        )
    

    The result is:

  • the O/P column seems contradictary with the conditions. or?

    Jatin77 , please, look carefully at your resulting column and the conditions you've provided. It's hard to understand what you want to achieve in the result. E.g.:

    If both test and review date is blank for all the subject for that particular employee only then a column cell should show "test pending"

    Looking at the sample you've provided, you should not have 'test pending' anywhere since you do not have an employee with ALL blank dates for ALL subjects.

    Here is an example of the DAX you can use assuming the conditions you've written are true.

     

    o/p result =
    VAR current_employee = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[name] )
    VAR not_empty =
        COUNTROWS (
            CALCULATETABLE (
                Table,
                Table[name] = current_employee && Table[test date] <> BLANK () || Table[check date] <> BLANK (),
                ALL ( Table[subject] )
            )
        )
    VAR current_check_date = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[check date] )
    VAR current_test_date = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[test date] )
    RETURN
        SWITCH (
            TRUE (),
            not_empty = 0, "test pending",
            current_check_date <> BLANK () && current_test_date <> BLANK ()
                && current_check_date < current_test_date, "check pending",
            current_check_date <> BLANK () || current_test_date <> BLANK (), "retake the test",
            "NA"
        )

     

    Try to play with SWITCH conditions if the actual conditions are different.

      Hello ERD ,

      Thank you for the reply. I have updated the data and made slight changes as well. I have also tried the dax which you have mentioned. Sharing the dax and o/p I'm getting:

      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      o/p result =
      VAR current_employee = SELECTEDVALUE ( Sheet4[name] )
      VAR not_empty =
          COUNTROWS (
              CALCULATETABLE (
                  Sheet4,
                  Sheet4[name] = current_employee && Sheet4[test date] <> BLANK () || Sheet4[check date] <> BLANK (),
                  ALL ( Sheet4[subject] )
              )
          )
      VAR current_check_date = SELECTEDVALUE ( Sheet4[check date] )
      VAR current_test_date = SELECTEDVALUE ( Sheet4[test date] )
      RETURN
          SWITCH (
              TRUE (),
              not_empty = 0, "test pending",
              current_check_date <> BLANK () && current_test_date <> BLANK ()
                  && current_check_date < current_test_date, "check pending",
              current_check_date <> BLANK () || current_test_date <> BLANK (), "retake the test",
              "NA"
          )


      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      --> o/p:


      Thanks an Regards,
