I have two file in Power BI, one is claims list and one is incident register.
I created "Updated Claim Amount" column with DAX Function as per below:
Everything works fine except when the outcome is 'QBE is not blank' and the claim status is 'no claim.' It should add 'Cost to Keenan Repair/Recovery' + 'Incident Register'[Cost to TP/property damage], but it shows as 0.
Sample data from claims list report:
Broker Ref | Claim Status | Total Incurred Net |
QBE04029610 | Open | £1,999.00 |
QBE04029947 | Open | £5,398.00 |
QBE04028368 | No Claim | £0.00 |
QBE04027518 | Open | £13,142.90 |
QBE04022177 | Open | £3,999.00 |

@Anonymous Hmm, not sure what is going wrong but try this:
Updated Claim Amount =
VAR CurrentQBE = 'Incident Register'[QBE Number]
VAR ClaimLookup = LOOKUPVALUE('Claims List'[Total Incurred Net], 'Claims List'[Broker Ref], CurrentQBE)
RETURN
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
ISBLANK(CurrentQBE), [Cost to Keenan Repair/Recovery] + 'Incident Register'[Cost to TP/property damage],
SELECTEDVALUE('Claims List'[Claim Status]) = "No Claim", [Cost to Keenan Repair/Recovery] + 'Incident Register'[Cost to TP/property damage],
ISBLANK(ClaimLookup), 0,
SUMX(
FILTER('Claims List', 'Claims List'[Broker Ref] = CurrentQBE),
'Claims List'[Total Incurred Net]
)
)
@Anonymous First, I would change from using nested IF statements to using SWITCH(TRUE(), ...). Will greatly cleanup your code and perhaps make it obvious where things are going awry.
@Greg_Deckler Thanks for your advise. I used switch function but it is having error as "A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected."

@Greg_Deckler thanks for your support but it is still showing error as "A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected."
@Anonymous Just to confirm this is a calculated column and not a measure, correct?
@Anonymous Well, one thing you can do is to comment out ( // ) individual logical statements in your SWITCH statement until you find the offending statement.
@Greg_Deckler Thanks for your advise. i have fix the error but the initial problem still exist. Everything works fine except when the outcome is 'QBE is not blank' and the claim status is 'no claim.' It should add 'Cost to Keenan Repair/Recovery' + 'Incident Register'[Cost to TP/property damage], but it shows as 0.
