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?

    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:

      Hey, thank you so much, you really helped me out! I appreciate it a lot.

  • 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])

    )
