Help with dynamic measure based on Criteria (IF not working)

Hi,

 

I'm trying to write a single measure to show Consolidated Amount Modified for any account starting with 1 and show the Average Amount for any account starting with 4 as shown below:

Measure = IF(LEFT(VALUES(Transactions[ACCOUNTNUMBER]),1)="1", [Consolidated_Amt_Modified], VALUES(Transactions[EXCH_AMT]))

 

I get the following error for the above formula

Consolidated Amount Modified is a measure that multiplies the SUM(Amount) * rate (from another table for the month selected):

 

Consolidated_Amt = SUM(Transactions[SUM(AMOUNT)])*Calculate(MAX('rate table'[CURRENT_RATE]),FILTER('rate table','rate table'[ACCTPRD]= MAX('rate table'[ACCTPRD])))
 
Consolidated_Amt_Modified = var tempTable =
SUMMARIZE(
Transactions,
Transactions[ACCOUNTNUMBER],
"NewColumn",[Consolidated_Amt])
return
SUMX(tempTable,[NewColumn])

 

AVG_AMOUNT is already calculated in the SQL.

 

I have attached the Power BI file download link  for your reference and happy to give further context on the data model to get this resolved.

hi @sai1092 

i couldn't check, but at first sight the issue is as you are creating the measure, you should try to pack your measures into either SELECTEDVALUE([Consolidated_Amt_Modified]) or CALCULATE(SUM([Consolidated_Amt_Modified]))

the same for [EXCH_AMT]

Measure = IF(LEFT(VALUES(Transactions[ACCOUNTNUMBER]),1)="1", SELECTEDVALUE([Consolidated_Amt_Modified]), SELECTEDVALUE(Transactions[EXCH_AMT]))

Hi @az38 ,

 

Thank you for the reply. When I try to use SELECTEDVALUE or CALCULATE(SUM())), I get the following error:

Parameter is nor the correct type

Hi,

 

How can I solve this? I still am stuck in the issue with creating a calculated column that decides between the two amounts based on the account number. I tried using Custom Columns, but none of them work. 

 

Thank you

Hi @sai1092 

 

Don't use selectevalue before meausure, Use it before column only.

 

Remove first selectedvalue and keep second selectedvalue in  your DAX.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The DAX formula worked but I get the following error when I put the measure in a visual. How to solve the issue when the IF statment has to choose where one calculation is being built on a temp table and the other an aggregate?

Try this

 

Measure = IF(LEFT(Transactions[ACCOUNTNUMBER],1)="1", [Consolidated_Amt_Modified], SELECTEDVALUE(Transactions[EXCH_AMT]))

 

I assume [Consolidated_Amt_Modified] is measure and Transactions[EXCH_AMT] is column.
