Help with dynamic measure based on Criteria (IF not working)

sai1092 — Thu, 26 Dec 2019 01:07:15 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to write a single measure to show Consolidated Amount Modified for any account starting with 1 and show the Average Amount for any account starting with 4 as shown below:

Measure = IF(LEFT(VALUES(Transactions[ACCOUNTNUMBER]),1)="1", [Consolidated_Amt_Modified], VALUES(Transactions[EXCH_AMT]))

I get the following error for the above formula

Consolidated Amount Modified is a measure that multiplies the SUM(Amount) * rate (from another table for the month selected):

Consolidated_Amt = SUM(Transactions[SUM(AMOUNT)])*Calculate(MAX('rate table'[CURRENT_RATE]),FILTER('rate table','rate table'[ACCTPRD]= MAX('rate table'[ACCTPRD])))

Consolidated_Amt_Modified = var tempTable =

SUMMARIZE(

Transactions,

Transactions[ACCOUNTNUMBER],

"NewColumn",[Consolidated_Amt])

return

SUMX(tempTable,[NewColumn])

AVG_AMOUNT is already calculated in the SQL.

I have attached the Power BI file download link for your reference and happy to give further context on the data model to get this resolved.

hi sai1092

i couldn't check, but at first sight the issue is as you are creating the measure, you should try to pack your measures into either SELECTEDVALUE([Consolidated_Amt_Modified]) or CALCULATE(SUM([Consolidated_Amt_Modified]))

the same for [EXCH_AMT]

Measure = IF(LEFT(VALUES(Transactions[ACCOUNTNUMBER]),1)="1", SELECTEDVALUE([Consolidated_Amt_Modified]), SELECTEDVALUE(Transactions[EXCH_AMT]))

do not hesitate to give a kudo to useful posts and mark solutions as solution

Hi az38 ,

Thank you for the reply. When I try to use SELECTEDVALUE or CALCULATE(SUM())), I get the following error:

Parameter is nor the correct type

Hi,

How can I solve this? I still am stuck in the issue with creating a calculated column that decides between the two amounts based on the account number. I tried using Custom Columns, but none of them work.

Thank you

Hi sai1092

Don't use selectevalue before meausure, Use it before column only.

Remove first selectedvalue and keep second selectedvalue in your DAX.

Hi Anonymous ,

The DAX formula worked but I get the following error when I put the measure in a visual. How to solve the issue when the IF statment has to choose where one calculation is being built on a temp table and the other an aggregate?

Try this

Measure = IF(LEFT(Transactions[ACCOUNTNUMBER],1)="1", [Consolidated_Amt_Modified], SELECTEDVALUE(Transactions[EXCH_AMT]))

I assume [Consolidated_Amt_Modified] is measure and Transactions[EXCH_AMT] is column.
