Help with SWITCH Function

hi , not sure if this is the right forum but if  this is the right forum, anyone can help me please. I am stucked with my own measure.....i am trying to create a measure that will display data of the first two column once i type 'yes' in the third column.

at the moment i am using switch(true(),max(table[final answer])="Yes", Max(Table[Organisation_dummy_name]),"")

however when i entered yes, it displays wrong answer...

 

I am expected to see South Australia, General, Diageo PLC in the table below when i entered "Yes" in the Final Answer of the table above (data source)

Hi @Marshmallow ,

Below is my new table:

The new following DAX might work for you:

Measure = 
   var _fina = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Final answer])
   var result = 
      IF(_fina == "yes" , MAX('Table'[Organisation_dummy_name])," ")
    return result

The final output is shown in the following figure:

Hi @Xianda, I still would like the row that doesn't have yes to be displayed but not displaying the organisation name. So taking your table as example, if Diageo PLC is not a yes for South Australia and General, it will be displayed as 

South Australia | General | [blank]

Victoria | General | Diageo PLC

 

So whilst waiting for the Final Answer to be yes, I still need to have the State and Type displayed 🙂

Hi @Marshmallow ,

Below is my table:

vxiandatmsft_0-1700707572741.png

The following DAX might work for you:

Measure = 
   CALCULATE(
     MAX('Table'[Organisation_dummy_name]),
     FILTER('Table' , 'Table'[Final answer] = "yes"))

The final output is shown in the following figure:
