Hello!
I would like to consult to you this problem --- so I have the an ID, name, Col1, Col2, and Col3 columns..
I would like to display the distinct ID and name column into a table with (col1>=5 and col1<10) OR (col2>=5 and col2<15) OR (col3>=5 and col3<15) filters.
i created a calculated column like this, to serve as my filter..
ColumnFilter = SWITCH(TRUE(),
Query1[col1] >=5 && Query1[col1] < 10, ">=5 & <10" ,
Query1[col2] >=5 && Query1[col2] < 15, ">=5 & <15" ,
Query1[col3] >=5 && Query1[col3] < 15, ">=5 & <15"
)
but i am not sure if the SWITCH function functions like an OR operator.
I am also not sure how to apply this and get the distinct values in my ID column.
So basically i need to get the distinct ID values passed with any of the filters.
Thank you in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
sorry, @Anonymous my bad
try new table
=
DISTINCT(
SELECTCOLUMNS(
FILTER(
'Query1';( ([col1] >=5 && [col1]) || ([col2] >=5 && [col2]) || ([col3] >=5 && [col3] ) )
)
);
"ID";
[ID]
)
