Help creating a classifier from columns using RANKX

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 13:09:18 GMT

Hello,

I am currently trying to create a custom column in Power BI to classify email campaigns based on certain criteria. The column is called "CRITERIO" and I am using the SWITCH function to assign values to each campaign based on its name and the number of emails sent.

Here is the formula I am using:

The formula is supposed to assign values of "AURIS" or "TEST" to campaigns whose names contain those words, and "TOP 5", "TOP 6-10", or "TOP 11-15" to campaigns whose email volumes rank within those thresholds. All other campaigns should be assigned a value of "OTHER".

Here's and data's example:

RECIPIENT_ID	EVENT_TYPE	NOMBRE	EMAIL
607227625501	Sent	LPR	xxxxxxx@gmail.com
579440932400	Open	[AURIS] SIN CONTACTO API	yyyyyy@icloud.com
579440932952	Sent	[TEST] LISTO PARA RETIRO API	zzzzzzz@hotmail.com
579440957813	Sent	ENCUESTA	aaaaaaa@email.com
618127727620	Sent	POLL	bbbbb@email.com
565900248891	Sent	WELCOME	ccccccc@email.com

Data Base Sample

However, I am running into a few issues. First, the formula is not correctly filtering the "TOP 5" campaigns, and is instead assigning that value to all campaigns that are not "AURIS" or "TEST". Second, occasionally the formula is creating a circular dependency that prevents me from using the "COUNT" function instead "DISTINCTCOUNT".

I have tried a few different variations of the formula, including using COUNTROWS instead of DISTINCTCOUNT, and using a different column as the first argument of the RANKX function, but I have not been able to resolve the issues.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
