DAX SWITCH + SELECTEDVALUE()

Anonymous — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 19:09:28 GMT

Hello everyone! I'm struggling to solve a problem with a measure.

I'm using the wonderful resource of SWITCH + SELECTEDVALUE, but what happens when I need to perform a division, say, GMV/Orders. In the following case: ATV=GMV/Orders.

VAR MySelection =

SELECTEDVALUE ('De-para'[Grouping])

VAR Mysubselection=SELECTEDVALUE(All_Data[KPI])

RETURN

SWITCH (

TRUE (),

MySelection="GMV",CALCULATE(sum(All_Data[Value]),All_Data[Grouping.1]="GMV")/1000000,

MySelection = "Orders",[Orders],

MySelection = "ATV",[ATV])

The disconnected table which contains the field Grouping.1 is the following:

KPI Grouping.1

GMV GMV

Orders Orders

ATV ATV

Discounts DME

Mkt DME

When I build the table I need, the KPI "ATV" shows the same data for every kpi, as if it wouldn't recognize the attribute as a table attribute.

Any help? I need to solve this asap 😞

Thks in advance!

I don't quite understand the question. What are you expecting to happen when you "perform a division"? How is this division related to your switch measure?

Hi Anonymous ,

You need another Measure to calculate the value of GMV/Orders, then use it in current Measure .

ATV = VAR GMV_ = CALCULATE ( [GMV], ALL ( All_Data ) ) //[GMV] is a measure that sum the value of GMV VAR Orders_ = CALCULATE ( [Orders], ALL ( All_Data ) ) //[Orders] is a measure that sum the value of Orders RETURN IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( All_Data[Grouping.1] ) = "ATV", GMV_ / Orders_, BLANK () )

division = VAR MySelection = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'De-para'[Grouping] ) RETURN SWITCH ( TRUE (), MySelection = "GMV", [GMV] / 1000000, //[GMV] is a measure that sum the value of GMV MySelection = "Orders", [Orders], //[Orders] is a measure that sum the value of Orders MySelection = "ATV", [ATV] )

Then, the result should look like this.

Also, attached the pbix file as reference.
