Can someone help me with this formula.
In my DATA table I can make this IF statement work:
=IF(OR([eSource]="Electricity",[eSource]="Natural Gas"),[Quantity]*0.0036,IF([eSource]="Diesel",[Quantity]*0.0364,""))
However if I take it one step further it fails:
=IF(OR([eSource]="Electricity",[eSource]="Natural Gas"),[Quantity]*0.0036,IF([eSource]="Diesel",[Quantity]*0.0364,IF([eSource]="LPG"),[Quantity]*.0000049,""))
Formula check highlights "LPG"
How can I use the IF statement to allow more than 3 criteria
Alternatively I tried this formula within Powerpivot that only produces and Error result
=SUMX(ENERGYtbl,IF(ENERGYtbl[eSource]="Natural Gas",ENERGYtbl[Quantity]*.0036,IF(ENERGYtbl[eSource]="Electricity",ENERGYtbl[Quantity]*.0036,IF(ENERGYtbl[eSource]="LPG",ENERGYtbl[Quantity]*.0000049,IF(ENERGYtbl[eSource]="Diesel",ENERGYtbl[Quantity]*.0364,"")))))
I need to have a formula that allows me to keep adding to the formula as new energy sources get added to the project.
Help is much appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
To answer your second question:
Alternatively I tried this formula within Powerpivot that only produces and Error result
=SUMX(ENERGYtbl,IF(ENERGYtbl[eSource]="Natural Gas",ENERGYtbl[Quantity]*.0036,IF(ENERGYtbl[eSource]="Electricity",ENERGYtbl[Quantity]*.0036,IF(ENERGYtbl[eSource]="LPG",ENERGYtbl[Quantity]*.0000049,IF(ENERGYtbl[eSource]="Diesel",ENERGYtbl[Quantity]*.0364,"")))))
You'd be better off storing the multipliers (0.0036, 0.0036, 0.0000049, ...) in your model as an additional column: ENERGYtbl[multiplier].
You then be able to create a calcaulted column
[Something] = ENERGYtbl[Quantity] * ENERGYtbl[multiplier]
which can easily be summed
[Total] = SUM(ENERGYtbl[Something])

Thank you very much that's a good idea.
Looks like you have an extra closing brace
=IF(OR([eSource]="Electricity",[eSource]="Natural Gas"),[Quantity]*0.0036,IF([eSource]="Diesel",[Quantity]*0.0364,IF([eSource]="LPG"),[Quantity]*.0000049,""))
Edit: and possibly missing a closing one at the end.
