Hi Friends,
Need urgent help.
I have a column in DB with numbers,
Names |
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
But in UI those numbers are linked to Names likes
1 -AA
2 - BB
3 - CC
4 - DD
5 - EE
I need to show the names in Table visual not the numbers; So in this case i wrote SWITCH function DAX but the result is
Names | Names |
1 | AA |
2,3 | |
3 | CC |
4 | DD |
4,5 |
How to show if they select multipe values in Names coulmns . Please help. TIA
DAX I used:
Names = SWITCH(Names, 1, "AA", 2,"BB", 3, "CC", 4, "DD", 5, "EE")
How to modify this. ?
can you be more specific about the switch statement. Is it applied to a calculated column or measure? Which column/table is involved in this formula? Whi column/table is used in the slicer? How does the report look like?
I created a calculated coulmn using this formula Names = SWITCH(Table[Names], 1, "AA", 2,"BB", 3, "CC", 4, "DD", 5, "EE")
Hi @LearnPowerBIAS,
Here is the correct version of this SWITCH statement...😎
Names = SWITCH(
TRUE(),
Table[Names] = 1, "AA",
Table[Names] = 2, "BB",
Table[Names] = 3, "CC",
Table[Names] = 4, "DD",
Table[Names] = 5, "EE"
)
I am only ammending the DAX I don't know the specifics of your problem, could you give an example table and then the result you'd expect? Or does this solve your problem or give you a better clue on how to solve it? 😊
What about the other questions? How about sharing some screenshots?
Here for 2,3 also I need to return the values. But now its coming as empty . This is a TAble visual.
