Date columns in IF function
Hi!
I have two date columns:
•dim_leads[meeting_date]
•dim_leads[closed_date]
What I want is to:
if dim_leads[closed_date] = BLANK(),
then calculate the number of leads according to dim_leads[meeting_date], otherwise according to dim_leads[closed_date].
I've tried this:
IF(
dim_leads[closed_date] = BLANK(),
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(dim_leads[id]),
USERELATIONSHIP(dim_date[Date], dim_leads[meeting_date])
,
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(dim_leads[id]),
USERELATIONSHIP(dim_date[Date], dim_leads[closed_date])
)
... but the thing is that it returns me the error because IF can not define a single value from date column and requires me to specify an aggregate which is not what i'm looking for.
Can you help me with this, please? How can I combine IF function with date column in it?
Hi Anonymous
Please make a little bit change to your dax formula.
CountIdInMeasure =
IF (
SELECTEDVALUE ( dim_leads[closed_date] ) = BLANK (),
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( dim_leads[id] ),
USERELATIONSHIP ( dim_date[Date], dim_leads[meeting_date] )
),
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( dim_leads[id] ),
USERELATIONSHIP ( dim_date[Date], dim_leads[closed_date] )
)
)
Result will looks like this:

Anonymous , Try like
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(dim_leads[id]),filter(dim_leads, isblank(dim_leads[closed_date])),
USERELATIONSHIP(dim_date[Date], dim_leads[meeting_date]) )
+
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(dim_leads[id]),filter(dim_leads, not(isblank(dim_leads[closed_date])) ),
USERELATIONSHIP(dim_date[Date], dim_leads[closed_date]))
