Currency Switch Measure is Mixing All Currencies at Row Level

Anonymous — Mon, 01 Aug 2022 20:08:34 GMT

Hello,

We have a report built where a slicer can select between either US or CA. This is triggering a switch measure to select either the USD$ or CAD$ column from the DB Table:

Sales $ = Switch(true(), [OnlyCanadaSelected]="No",[Sales (USD)], [OnlyCanadaSelected]="Yes",[Sales (Local)])

OnlyCanadaSelected = IF(COUNTROWS(FILTER(FlashSalesSites,FlashSalesSites[Country]<> "CA")) = 0,"Yes","No")

When trouble shooting the model, I see that "Sales $" column shows local currency for both countries due to the row level context BUT the Grand Total for the matrix is totaling in USD$:

I have tried multiple rewrites of the logic but cannot get around the row level. Also, I cannot understand why the Grand Total is correct? I would love some suggestions on how to correct!

Thanks

Anonymous , Ideally speaking you should not show grand total for mixed currency or try like

Sales $ =Sumx(Values(Table[Country]) , calculate( Switch(true(), [OnlyCanadaSelected]="No",[Sales (USD)], [OnlyCanadaSelected]="Yes",[Sales (Local)]) ))

Yes I agree. I am trying to show only USD$ currency in "Sales $" with the switch measures listed. I cannot seem to remove the row level context however for "CA" which is causing the mixed currency issue.

Apologies for not being more clear in the orginal post.

Hi Anonymous ,

I think your issue should be caused by [OnlyCanadaSelected] measure.

Due to the row context, in "CA" level, there should be no other countrys <> "CA", so [OnlyCanadaSelected] will return "Yes", [Sales $] will return CAD$

in "US" level, there should be no other countrys = "CA", so [OnlyCanadaSelected] will return "No", [Sales $] will return USD$

in subtotal, there should be all countries from the whole table, so [OnlyCanadaSelected] will return "No", you will get correct total, USD$.

OnlyCanadaSelected = IF(COUNTROWS(FILTER(FlashSalesSites,FlashSalesSites[Country]<> "CA")) = 0,"Yes","No")

New code:

OnlyCanadaSelected = IF ( COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( ALL ( FlashSalesSites ), FlashSalesSites[Country] <> "CA" ) ) = 0, "Yes", "No" )

You can try ALL() function to remove filter from your data model.

Unfortunately your formula will only give a "NO" result regardless of the filter selection as it is using the COUNTROWS against the entire data set.

I have solved the issue today using the below logic:

OnlyCanadaSelectedTEST = IF ( Calculate( COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( ALLSELECTED( FlashSalesSites ), FlashSalesSites[Country] <> "CA" )) ) = 0, "Yes", "No" )

I had to also use this in conjunction with a "Is Not Blank" filter on my "Sites" as there were phantom locations pulling in with no "Country" information.

I appreciate everyone helping me think this through!
