DAX Switch & nested IF

[Maximous89]

https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/DAX-challenge-nested-if-or-switch-is...

i can't belive there is no solution for this,

 i need a simple dax measure 

IF( ISINSCOPE( HIER[LEVEL_7_DESC] ), 17, IF( ISINSCOPE( HIER[LEVEL_6_DESC] ), 16, IF( ISINSCOPE( HIER[LEVEL_5_DESC] ), 15 ) ) )

this doesn't work because if i change the order of column in the visual then the higher or the first condtition will always be the only one is true returning this value only?!!

Hi @Maximous89 , Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.

As you haven't shared any data and it is very hard to provide a solution without it, I took some sample data based on your scenario and created a .pbix file with a working solution for you reference. Please check the attached .pbix file and share your thoughts.

Thank you.

hi @Maximous89 ,

Please share some sample data and expected output to understand the ask. sometimes only looking at the DAX doesn't help but the entire scenario does.

Hi @Maximous89 

You could use a measure that checks which level has a non-blank value, assuming each level is only populated when it's relevant:

LevelNumber = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    NOT(ISBLANK(SELECTEDVALUE(HIER[LEVEL_7_DESC]))), 17,
    NOT(ISBLANK(SELECTEDVALUE(HIER[LEVEL_6_DESC]))), 16,
    NOT(ISBLANK(SELECTEDVALUE(HIER[LEVEL_5_DESC]))), 15,
    BLANK()
)

I hope this helps

Weird when you say 'i can't belive there is no support on this'.. I clicked open your original post and saw Community support followed up twice on your question there.
