DAX in SWITCH

LearnPowerBIAS — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 17:48:52 GMT

Hi Friends,

Need urgent help.

I have a column in DB with numbers,

Names

But in UI those numbers are linked to Names likes

1 -AA

2 - BB

3 - CC

4 - DD

5 - EE

I need to show the names in Table visual not the numbers; So in this case i wrote SWITCH function DAX but the result is

Names	Names
1	AA
2,3
3	CC
4	DD
4,5

How to show if they select multipe values in Names coulmns . Please help. TIA

DAX I used:

Names = SWITCH(Names, 1, "AA", 2,"BB", 3, "CC", 4, "DD", 5, "EE")

How to modify this. ?

Hi LearnPowerBIAS

can you be more specific about the switch statement. Is it applied to a calculated column or measure? Which column/table is involved in this formula? Whi column/table is used in the slicer? How does the report look like?

I created a calculated coulmn using this formula Names = SWITCH(Table[Names], 1, "AA", 2,"BB", 3, "CC", 4, "DD", 5, "EE")

Hi LearnPowerBIAS,

Here is the correct version of this SWITCH statement...😎

Names = SWITCH( TRUE(), Table[Names] = 1, "AA", Table[Names] = 2, "BB", Table[Names] = 3, "CC", Table[Names] = 4, "DD", Table[Names] = 5, "EE" )

I am only ammending the DAX I don't know the specifics of your problem, could you give an example table and then the result you'd expect? Or does this solve your problem or give you a better clue on how to solve it? 😊
