Hi,
I have a general question about the best way to write if/switch measures. Is any of the following examples (1 and 2) more efficient than the other?
1)
if_measure =
IF(condition_measure = value1, [measure1], [measure2])
switch_measure =
SWITCH(condition_measure,
value1, [measure1],
value2, [measure2],
[measure3])
2)
if_measure =
IF(condition_measure = value1, DAX code for measure 1, DAX code for measure 2)
switch_measure =
SWITCH(condition_measure,
value1, DAX code for measure 1,
value2, DAX code for measure 2,
DAX code for measure 3)
Thanks!
I don't think that there would be any performance difference between the 2 but the first versions are much easier to read and maintain so I would use them
