DAX

When to use calculated column and measure while using switch fn in DAX?

    jothimeena Many people say that you should never use a DAX calculated column but should rather create calculated columns in Power Query Editor. If you are using a SWITCH statement, I would go with a measure over a Power Query Editor custom column because Power Query does not have a switch statement equivalent but instead you would need to use nested if then else statements.

     

    If you can provide additional information on what exactly you are trying to do then I can probably be of more help.
