I have a table with online order data. Here is a sample:
Order_nbr, Item_nbr, channel, prod_cost, prod_cost_packaging
1 , 2 , Pickup , 10 , 0.4
2 , 7 , Delivery, 10 , 0.4
3 , 8 , Vendor , 10 , 0.4
I am creating a metric which will contain prod_cost or prod_cost_packing based on channel, such as for Pickup, it displays prod_cost_packaging, for Delivery, it displays prod_cost and for Vendor, it displays prod_cost_packaing.
I have a slicer on the channel field of the table, I would like to display the sum of all selected channels (whether packaging or prod_cost with respect to channel) for 2 or more selections.
My code (below) works when slicing for 1 channel, but not when I select 2 or more.
var Flowpath_choice = ALLSELECTED(Table[Channel])
return
.
Hi,
I am not sure how your datamodel looks like, but please try something like below.
Expected result measure: =
VAR Flowpath_choice =
SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Channel] )
RETURN
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
Flowpath_choice IN { "Delivery" }, [Actual Amount],
Flowpath_choice IN { "Pickup", "Vendor" }, [Package Amount],
0
)
This gets rid of the error. But this isn't an actual solution. I have a slicer on the channel field for the table; when I select 2 or more channels, the measure should display the sum of all channel costs (whether packaging or prod_cost). The above solution gets rid of the error but doesn't support the actual multiple selection of the channels.
