Hi,
I am trying to create ifese function but is is not giving me any column name in logical condition
eXAMPLE: I am creating a new column with condition IF(-- = "Mumbai", true,false)
So where -- is present no column name is coming here it giving me an error in the formula
Please help
Solved! Go to Solution.
If this is for a measure, you have to use an aggregation function. Trying something like
some_measure = IF ( MAX('table'[column]) = "Mumbai", 1, 0)
Hi @GShal ,
Thanks @Syk for the quick reply. I have some other thoughts to add:
If you want to create a calculated column, first select a table and then click New Column.
Enter the following formula.
Column = IF([Column1]="Mumbai","true","false")
Then the result is as follows.
Best Regards,
