How to get multiple results from SWITCH() function?
Hi All,
I am trying to output multiple results depending on the selected field.
These multiple results are an average, an upper bound and lower bound standard deviation:
This works well as I have put every field into the lines, but I am trying to toggle to share of volume and get the wrong values
These bounds and averages are calculations for the previous metric. So I am trying to make a switch statement for the lines in this visual to select the proper bounds and average depending on the selected metric with the following formula:
Bounds =
switch(
SELECTEDVALUE(Range[Metric]),
"CRT", 'Verizon Call Reason'[YMax CRT],
"CRT", 'Verizon Call Reason'[YMin CRT],
"CRT", 'Verizon Call Reason'[Avg CRT],
"% Share Volume",'Verizon Call Reason'[YMax V%],
"% Share Volume", 'Verizon Call Reason'[YMin V%],
"% Share Volume", 'Verizon Call Reason'[Avg V%],
0
)But this only gives me an aggregate of the upper, lower, and average line as something I do not need.
How can I keep these bounds depending on the filter measure I select?
The logic behind switch is this:
if value equals X than "show me this", otherwise
if value equals Y than "show me that", ...
What you've wrote is this:
if value equals X than "show me this", otherwise
if value equals X than "show me that", ...
However this cannot work since X cannot equal 2 conditions at the same time. You cannot have "CRT" 3 times and "% Share Volume" also 3 times.
You need to create 3 separate switch functions:
Upper Bound = switch( SELECTEDVALUE(Range[Metric]), "CRT", 'Verizon Call Reason'[YMax CRT], "% Share Volume",'Verizon Call Reason'[YMax V%], 0 )Lower Bound = switch( SELECTEDVALUE(Range[Metric]), "CRT", 'Verizon Call Reason'[YMin CRT], "% Share Volume", 'Verizon Call Reason'[YMin V%], 0 )Average = switch( SELECTEDVALUE(Range[Metric]), "CRT", 'Verizon Call Reason'[Avg CRT], "% Share Volume", 'Verizon Call Reason'[Avg V%], 0 )
