Need DAX Help for calculated column

Vijay08V — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 14:58:18 GMT

Hi,

I have a similar table as below and I'm trying to introduce a calculated column which evaluates at row level and gives me the FTE count. The logic that I'm trying to put is when I have Revised FTE, Locked FTE and Planned FTE values available (not zero), the logic should populate revised FTE value. Likewise if Revised FTE is zero then it should populate Locked FTE or else Planned FTE count. I tried using IF function and Switch function, still I'm not getting the expected output. Any help on this would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Example 1 :

Tab Name	Table Name	Metrics	Date	Value	Vendor	Report Date	ID	Expected output
A	AB	Planned FTE	12-31-2023	1553	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Hours	12-31-2023	37291	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Locked FTE	12-31-2023	892	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Revised FTE	12-31-2023	965	ABC	26-05-24 0:00		965
A	AB	Graduates	12-31-2023	39	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Week Four	12-31-2023	0	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Week Three	12-31-2023	0	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Week Two	12-31-2023	0	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Week One	12-31-2023	0	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Week One	12-31-2023	0	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Week Two	12-31-2023	0	ABC	26-05-24 0:00

Example 2 :

Tab Name	Table Name	Metrics	Date	Value	Vendor	Report Date	ID	Expected output
A	AB	Planned FTE	12-31-2023	1553	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Hours	12-31-2023	37291	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Locked FTE	12-31-2023	892	ABC	26-05-24 0:00		892
A	AB	Revised FTE	12-31-2023	0	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Graduates	12-31-2023	39	ABC	26-05-24 0:00

Tab Name	Table Name	Metrics	Date	Value	Vendor	Report Date	ID	Expected output
A	AB	Planned FTE	12-31-2023	1553	ABC	26-05-24 0:00		1553
A	AB	Hours	12-31-2023	37291	ABC	26-05-24 0:00
A	AB	Locked FTE	12-31-2023	0	ABC	26-05-24 0:00

A	AB	Week Two	12-31-2023	0	ABC	26-05-24 0:00

DAX Measure Used :

FTE = VAR Locked_FTE = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Value]),Table[Metrics]="Locked FTE",Table[ID]=EARLIER(Table[ID]))

VAR Revised_FTE = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Value]),Table[Metrics]="Revised FTE",Table[ID]=EARLIER(Table[ID]))

VAR Planned_FTE = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Value]),Table[Metrics]="Planned FTE",Table[ID]=EARLIER(Table[ID]))

RETURN(

SWITCH(TRUE(),Revised_FTE<>0,Revised_FTE,Revised_FTE=0,Locked_FTE,Locked_FTE=0,Planned_FTE))

Here ID is nothing but the Concatenation of Tab,Table name, Vendor and Date fields so that in the output I don't get a aggregated value for all dates

Hi Vijay08V ,

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create calculated column.

Expected output = var _count= COUNTX( FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Metrics] in {"Revised FTE","Locked FTE","Planned FTE"} && 'Table'[Value]<>0),[Value]) return SWITCH( TRUE(), _count=3&&'Table'[Metrics] = "Revised FTE", SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Metrics] = "Revised FTE"),[Value]), _count=2&&'Table'[Metrics] = "Locked FTE", SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Metrics] = "Locked FTE"),[Value]), _count=1&&'Table'[Metrics] = "Planned FTE", SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Metrics] = "Planned FTE"),[Value]))

2. Result:

Hi Anonymous - Thanks for sharing the PBIX file. It looks like the logic doesn't work if I add new data to the existing table. In real scenario, it will have more records .Same metrics will be repeated for different tab and table names and for different Date,vendor and report date.

Case Condition 1 :
Revised FTE <> 0, Locked FTE <>0 and planned FTE <> 0
Expected Output : Revised FTE number

Case Condition 2 :
Revised FTE = 0, Locked FTE <>0 and planned FTE <> 0
Expected Output : Locked FTE number

Case Condition 3 :
Revised FTE = 0, Locked FTE = 0 and planned FTE <> 0
Expected Output : Planned FTE number

Snapshot from PBIX after adding new data

Could you please help how the existing DAX logic can be revised?

Hi Anonymous

I made few changes to the DAX measure by introducing ID column in the table and its working but there is one challenge though. If value of _count variable is two or one, it directly fetches the value of Locked FTE or Planned FTE. However the logic should flow in the hireachy of Revised FTE >> Locked FTE>>Planned FTE. Say for example value of _count variable is two and we have Revised FTE and Planned FTE metrics as nonzero then the logic should pick Revised FTE value and not the locked FTE. Any Idea how to resolve this problem? Thanks!

Expected Output =

var _count=

COUNTX(

FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[ID]= EARLIER('Table'[ID]) &&

'Table'[Metrics] in {"Revised FTE","Locked FTE","Planned FTE"} && 'Table'[Value]<>0),[Value])

RETURN

SWITCH(

TRUE(),

_count=3&&'Table'[Metrics] = "Revised FTE ,

SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Metrics] = "Revised FTE" && 'Table'[ID]=EARLIER('Table'[ID])),[Value]),

_count=2&&'Table'[Metrics] = "Locked FTE",

SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Metrics] = "Locked FTE"&& 'Table'[ID]=EARLIER('Table'[ID])),[Value]),

_count=1&&'Table'[Metrics] = "Planned FTE",

SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Metrics] = "Planned FTE" && 'Table'[ID]=EARLIER('Table'[ID])),[Value]))

Hi Vijay08V ,

You can try the following dax.

Expected output123 = var _column= SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Tab Name ]=EARLIER('Table'[Tab Name ])&&'Table'[Table Name]=EARLIER('Table'[Table Name])&&'Table'[Date]=EARLIER('Table'[Date])&&'Table'[Value]=0),"test",[Metrics]) RETURN SWITCH( TRUE(), NOT("Revised FTE") in _column && NOT("Locked FTE") in _column && NOT("Planned FTE") in _column&&'Table'[Metrics]="Revised FTE",[Value], "Revised FTE" in _column && NOT("Locked FTE") in _column && NOT("Planned FTE") in _column&&'Table'[Metrics]="Locked FTE",[Value], "Revised FTE" in _column && "Locked FTE" in _column && NOT("Planned FTE") in _column&&'Table'[Metrics]="Planned FTE",[Value], NOT("Revised FTE") in _column && "Locked FTE" in _column && NOT("Planned FTE") in _column&&'Table'[Metrics]="Revised FTE",[Value])
