Bucketing values - what is missing?

acg — Mon, 28 Mar 2022 08:55:28 GMT

I have written the following Dax, but do not understand what's missing:

Bucket Gross Value =

SWITCH(

TRUE(),

‘Fact’[Gross Value] <=10000,"under 10'000",

‘Fact’[Gross Value] > 10000 &&’Fact’[Gross Value] <=100000,"< $100'000",

‘Fact’[Gross Value] > 100000 &&’Fact’[Gross Value] <=500000,"< $500'000",

‘Fact’[Gross Value] >500000 &&’Fact’[Gross Value] <=1000000,"< $1’000'000",

‘Fact’[Gross Value] >1000000 &&’Fact’[Gross Value] <=500000000,"< $500’000’000",

‘Fact’[Gross Value] >500000000 &&’Fact’[Gross Value] <=1000000000,"< $1’000’000’000",

‘Fact’[Gross Value] >1000000000 &&’Fact’[Gross Value] <=50000000000,"< $50’000’000’000","> $50’000’000’000”

)

I know there are differnt ways to do it, but I have to do it with a Switch at the moment. It seems as if the else statement is faulty, but I don't see whats wrong.

Hi tamerj1, it always tries to add another bracket at the end ) and both brackets are in that browish, reddish colour - indicating that it still expects something else.

This is a calculated column right?

I discovered many sybtax errors inside the code. It seems it was written using a non standard editor. This one should work with no errors

Bucket Gross Value = SWITCH ( TRUE (), Fact[Gross Value] <= 10000, "under 10000", Fact[Gross Value] > 10000 && Fact[Gross Value] <= 100000, "< $100000", Fact[Gross Value] > 100000 && Fact[Gross Value] <= 500000, "< $500000", Fact[Gross Value] > 500000 && Fact[Gross Value] <= 1000000, "< $1000000", Fact[Gross Value] > 1000000 && Fact[Gross Value] <= 500000000, "< $500000000", Fact[Gross Value] > 500000000 && Fact[Gross Value] <= 1000000000, "< $1000000000", Fact[Gross Value] > 1000000000 && Fact[Gross Value] <= 50000000000, "< $50000000000", "> $50000000000" )

tamerj1 Thank you very mich for your answer. The "$100'000" act like a text in this context. Therefore, as such the apostrphe can remain.

It turned out the problem was that it was not in direct query.

Once in direct query ot worked fine.

Thank you.
