How to assign a value to a variable based on multiple conditions

Hello, 

currently I have this DAX in my power BI: 

Priority = IF(Results[Business Impact]> [#Average_B] && [Reliability Score]<[#Average_R], "High","Low")
 
Now I need to add two more conditions:
1) If Results[Business Impact]> [#Average_B] && [Reliability Score]>[#Average_R], then Priority = Medium;
2) If Results[Business Impact]< [#Average_B] && [Reliability Score]<[#Average_R], then Priority = Medium
 
how to do that?
Thanks

Hi, @Anonymous 

Please try something like the below.

I am not sure which ones are measures and which ones are columns, but you can understand when you start writing the Switch function in your pbix file something like below.

 

Priority =

Switch (true(),

 

Results[Business Impact]> [#Average_B] && Results [Reliability Score]<[#Average_R], "High",

Results[Business Impact]> [#Average_B] && Results [Reliability Score]>[#Average_R], “Medium”,

Results[Business Impact]< [#Average_B] && Results [Reliability Score]<[#Average_R], “Medium”,

 

"Low" )

Hi Jihwan,

First of all, thank you for your time, I believe the logic of your solution is correct, but the result didn't come right. 

I notice the measure "#Average_B" which is like this "". I meant to calculate the average businessImpact (a series of numbers) of the entire table, but in this particular visual, for some reason, it is only calculated for each row. what did I do wrong?

Hi, @Anonymous 

I am not sure how to step further.

If it is OK with you, please share your sample pbix file, then I can try to look into it to come up with a more accurate measure.

Thank you.
