Create group
Hi,
I have a live connection to a database due to which the group function is not enabled in Power BI. So I’m looking for other ways to visualize the data in Power BI in a grouped way. I was thinking this should work using a new measure, but I can’t figure out the proper DAX function to do so.
The values I need to group and display in the report are stored in a table called “Measures” in the field “amount”. The values I want to group, are stored in a table “Description” in the field “name”. I'd like to label them by saying if name = Apple or Banana, the new label newname = Fruit, else it is Vegetable.
What would be the best way to do this?
Thx -
Amount (table Measures)//Name (table Description)//newname
1//Apple//Fruit
2//Banana//Fruit
3//Lettuce//Vegetable
4//Apple//Fruit
5//Banana//Fruit
6//Lettuce//Vegetable

Hey,
i hope i understand you correctly.
you can backed this with the IF function in Power BIIF(logical_test>,<value_if_true>, value_if_false)
For more values combinated with If(and.....

TillThank you Till for the reply. I had tried to use IF, but seem not able to work out the proper function. I have no experience with DAX and have been looking around, but am probably just missing some basics to figure it out.
My attempt was:
group = IF(OR(Description[Name] = “Apple”, Description[Name] = “Banana”);”Fruit”;”Vegetable”)
Could you help me indicate what needs to be corrected?
Many thanks -
Hey,
now it is clear:
Step One:
Make a new column in your table with this measure
Spalte = if(OR('Tabelle 1'[Name]="Apfel";'Tabelle 1'[Name]="Banane");"Fruit";"Vegetable")This works.
Kind regards
Till
