Solved: Conditional select of unichar up and down arrows i...

anushavikram · ‎05-21-2019

Hi all,

I have to display unichar up and down arrows based on a measure.

My DAX is as follws

percentagedifference = IF([YTD difference]>=0, UNICHAR(9650), UNICHAR(9660))

Why is my output wrong.?

Looks like you have created percentagedifference as a Calculated Column instead of a Measure. Change it to a measure and it should work fine.

@AkhilAshok

Thanks a lot mate. I cant believe i have made such an unnoticed silly mistake.

I was under an impression i made a measure.

@anushavikram are you adding perecentagedifference as column or measure? It has to be a measure.

Hi,

Its a measure.

YTD difference used in percentagedifference is a measure too which is built up on two other measures.

thisyearYTD sales and lastYearYTD sales.

Anusha.
