Wrong value returned

I am using this Dax statement in a columnto return a text value based on a decimal but it always returns the false value of nothing.  Where have I gone wrong?

 

 

 

Rating2 = SWITCH( TRUE(), [Total Score] < 6, "No change", [Total Score] >= 6 && [Total Score] < 10, "Low", [Total Score] >= 11 && [Total Score] < 15, "Medium", [Total Score] >= 16 && [Total Score] < 20, "Low", "" )

  • I found the issue, the measure and column will only work on whole numbers not decimals.

    The DAX statement is working perfectly fine. I have attached the sample below.

    Hi Blaired79 

     

    For your question, here is the approach I provide:

     

    Here's some dummy data

     

    "Table"

     

    If you are creating a calculated column, your code will work.

     

     

    Column Rating2 = 
        SWITCH(
            TRUE(), 
            [Total Score] < 6, "No change", 
            [Total Score] >= 6 && [Total Score] < 10, "Low", 
            [Total Score] >= 11 && [Total Score] < 15, "Medium", 
            [Total Score] >= 16 && [Total Score] < 20, "Low", 
            ""
        )

     

     

     

    So I'm assuming if you create a measure.

     

    Create a measure. Try the following code:

     

     

    Measure Rating2 = var _score =  SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Total Score])
    RETURN  SWITCH(
            TRUE(), 
            _score < 6, "No change",
            _score >= 6 && _score < 10, "Low", 
            _score >= 11 && _score < 15, "Medium", 
            _score >= 16 && _score < 20, "Low", 
            " "
        )

     

     

    Here is the result.

     

     

    If you still have problems, it is best to provide the pbix file and be careful to delete sensitive data.
