function LEFT as measure
Hi,
I need to use LEFT() function for each row in table so as a measure in 'row context'. Because my report is based on powerBI dataset, I am unable to use LEFT() as a new column (this operation is unavailable)
Any idea how to do it?
thx a lot !
Hi Mariusz
I would like get something like this
Batch No. LEFT(Batch No.;3) 123123 123 123456 123 123789 123 987987 987 987654 987 987321 987 But I cannot solve it as 'new column', where it is easy to set up
Hi ph
Please see the below
Measure = LEFT( MAX( 'Table'[Batch No.] ), 3 )
Best Regards,
Mariusz

[First 3 Chars for Batch No.] = -- measure var __oneBatchVisible = HASONEFILTER( T[Batch No.] ) var __chars = if ( __oneBatchVisible, var __currentBatch = VALUES( T[Batch No.] ) var __first3Chars = left( __currentBatch, 3 ) return __first3Chars ) RETURN __chars
