Hi,
This seems like it should be really easy, alas I am a new user of DAX. I have a table and I would like a measure to retrieve a value given the column and row names. I have a measure that uses "FILTER", but I need something that also filters for the "Min" column regardless of the value in the table. I am not trying to calculate anything, I am quite simply trying to query for a value given the column and row names.
The measure looks like this:
Pressure_Min = FILTER(SensorTable, [Sensor] = "Pressure" && {add something to filter for column = [Min]})
This measure would grab the value 5 to use as a limit value for a gauge visual. Thanks for the help.
| Sensor | Min | Max |
| Pressure | 3 | 5 |
| Temperature | 80 | 100 |

You can't reference a column with a string variable in DAX; transform the dataset,
| Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
