    The way DAX handles BLANKS can be somewhat confusing so in this case it can be something related to DAX never considering the value to be blank and evaluating it as FALSE everytime. A possible workaround can be:

     

    SWITCH(
TRUE(),
SliderValue = BLANK(), 0,
SliderValue = 0, Actual,
SliderValue > 0, ProjRR,
SliderValue
)

Hello there edcdcpowerbi , you already have three arguments in the highlighted part of your code. Therefore, all your arguments after it are causing the error. I think you can remove the "SliderValue" argument, or use a SWITCH() function instead of nested IFs() since it behaves almost like an IF THEN ELSE.

 

RETURN
IF(
ISBLANK( SliderValue ),0, SliderValue,
IF( SliderValue > 0, ProjRR,
IF(SliderValue = 0, Actual)
)
)

Thanks for the help goncalogeraldes. i did try to remove SliderValue, but to no avail. 

I did try the switch statement but it return True, instead of the values i wanted, where have i gone wrong? 

 

SWITCH(SliderValue,
IF(ISBLANK(SliderValue),0,SliderValue),
SliderValue = 0, Actual,
SliderValue>0,ProjRR
)
