IF function that depends on month number
Hello everyone,
I need to calculate Return on assets ratio as annual but don't know how to write IF funcion that depends on month number in table below
Could you please help me with the formula marked in red?
Hi. I'll help you with the IF statement taking actual/current date regarding the row context of a visualization. I have added comments to help you. It would be a good idea to use variables. You can find your IF with variables and the __better_if that is kind of a better solution for that in case you want to replace it.
ROA = VAR __current_date = SELECTEDVALUE( Table[Data] ) //Your table example specifies column data as date. This gets the current date in row context VAR __month = MONTH (__current_date) //if your column is type date you can do this to get the month VAR __if_condition = IF(__month = 3, 4 , IF(__month = 6, 2 , IF(__month = 9, 1.3333, 1 ) ) ) VAR __better_if = // this would be a better way to handle the if SWITCH (__month , 3, 4 , 6, 2 , 9, 1.333 ,1 ) RETURN DIVIDE( CALCULATE( SUM( UK_DB[Sum, Eur] ), UK_DB[Item] = "Net profit" ) , CALCULATE( SUM(UK_DB[Sum, Eur]), UK_DB[Item] = "Assets" ) ) * __if_conditionI hope that helps,
