Measure and Calculation column not working properly

Anonymous — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 03:27:42 GMT

I have two calculated columns(TimeFrameDateRangeCol1) one is a measure (TimeFrameDateRange1 ) other is a calculation

TimeFrameDateRange1 = IF( NOT( ISBLANK(vw_patientListNew[MinselectedDateRange1]) && ISBLANK(vw_patientListNew[MaxselectedDateRange1])), vw_patientListNew[MinselectedDateRange1] &"-"& vw_patientListNew[MaxselectedDateRange1],Blank())

TimeFrameDateRangeCol1 = IF(isblank([TimeFrameDateRange1]),"blank","Not")

as you can see TimeFrameDateRangeCol1 condition is failing. Can you please let me know i i am doing wrong

You are using measure in a calculated column, which triggers context transition and then each row of that table filters the measure, so it looks like the measure is never evaluated to be blank. Don't use a measure in a calculated column unless you have working knowledge of context transition.

Anonymous , seem like you are trying to pass the parameters to a column, that is not possible. You can have a measure equivalent of that column by pushing row context

I removed the measure in the column and still there is issues:

as you can see the slicer1 is between 01/01/1989 and 7/26/1990. In TimeFrameDateRangeCol1 i want 1 for exists and blank for dont exists.

DateFilterRange = IF(MAX(vw_patientListNew[StatusDate]) in UNION(VALUES(DateRange1[Date]),VALUES(DateRange2[Date]),VALUES(DateRange3[Date])),1)

TimeFrameDateRangeCol1 = IF(MAX(vw_patientListNew[StatusDate]) in VALUES(DateRange1[Date]),1)
