Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I'm so glad to hear that your dax problem has been solved. 

 

In order to help you solve problems more efficiently, if you have problems about excle formula, you can reopen a thread or ask questions on excel community.

 

Thanks for your understanding.

 

Best regards,

Yadong Fang

@Anonymous , Try like

 

Column = SWITCH( True() ,
CONTAINSSTRING(inbound_inventory_test,inbound_inventory_test[ETS_Mgmt_Follow_up_Comments], "ITW"),"Inbound",
CONTAINSSTRING(inbound_inventory_test,inbound_inventory_test[ETS_Mgmt_Follow_up_Comments], "DTW"), "Delivered to WH",
CONTAINSSTRING(inbound_inventory_test,inbound_inventory_test[PO_Confirmation_Date], " "), "not confirmed",
CONTAINSSTRING(inbound_inventory_test,inbound_inventory_test[manufacturer_name], "zones"), "Zones Service",
(inbound_inventory_test[PO_Confirmation_Date])>TODAY()-3, "New PO",
(inbound_inventory_test[PO_Confirmation_Date])<TODAY()-30,"30+days Open",
"Inbound")

Hi @amitchandak there was a tiny modification below for the dax but it worked out.

Column2 = SWITCH( True() ,
CONTAINSSTRING(inbound_inventory_test[ETS_Mgmt_Follow_up_Comments],"ITW"),"Inbound",
CONTAINSSTRING(inbound_inventory_test[ETS_Mgmt_Follow_up_Comments], "DTW"), "Delivered to WH",
contains(inbound_inventory_test,inbound_inventory_test[PO_Confirmation_Date]," "), "not confirmed",
CONTAINSSTRING(inbound_inventory_test[manufacturer_name], "zones"), "Zones Service",
value(inbound_inventory_test[PO_Confirmation_Date])>TODAY()-3, "New PO",
value(inbound_inventory_test[PO_Confirmation_Date])<TODAY()-30,"30+days Open",
"Inbound")

 

 

I also have one doubt I am generating this using excel formula. In the excel formula they are using OR function on the 3rd line of the dax of you have provided. Below I am pasting the excel formula how can we achieve or function just like the excel formula?

=IF(A7="","",
IF(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"ITW"},L7)))>0,"inbound",
IF(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"DTW"},L7)))>0,"delivered to WH",
IF(N7="(blank)","not confirmed",
IF(OR(T7=1,T7=2),
IF(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"zones"},K7)))>0,"Zones Service",
IF(N7>TODAY()-3,"new PO",
IF(N7<TODAY()-30,"30+days open","inbound"))),
"inbound")))))
