Return value from another column based on conditions

Hi folks

 

I have a table called "Employee History", it has a column named "Salary".

 

Appreciate any help offered, much thanks!

 

I want to create a calculated column called "Salary Sort col" : 

  • Conditions will be based on a supporting table named "Salary sort"
  • Supporting table --> "Salary sort" has 3 columns : Salary Range, Min, Max
  • IF(
        'Employee History'[salary] >= SELECTEDVALUE( 'Salary sort'[Min] )
        &&
        'Employee History'[salary] <=  SELECTEDVALUE( 'Salary sort'[Max] ),
        SELECTEDVALUE( 'Salary sort'[Salary Range] )
    )

Idk what I'm doing wrong but my calculated column shows nothing 😅

Hi @holywasabi ,

 

I would suggest you to create a calculated column as below to achieve the requirement.

 

Salary Range  = If(Salary >0 && Salary < 39999,"Below $40k",if(Salary >39999 && Salary < 59999,"$40 - $59k", and so on)

 

let me know if this helps.

 

Thanks,

 

Ankur

Salary Range col =
CALCULATE (
    VALUES ( 'Salary sort'[Salary Range] ),
    FILTER (
        'Salary sort',
        'Employee History'[salary] >= 'Salary sort'[Min]
            && 'Employee History'[salary] <= 'Salary sort'[Max]
    )
)
