Switch with multiple conditions

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I have a new column definition [BedCount] written in DAX using several nested IF statements. I wanted to implement SWITCH to make things cleaner, but I couldn't wrap my head around how I would implement an AND in SWITCH. Any guideance on how to re-write this with SWITCH would be appreciated. I'd like to figure out how to do this as a Measure too, but was having trouble wrapping my head around the appropriate context. Having it added as a column "works" so the Measure piece is more about just getting better at Filter & Row context.

For more context, this column is currently added to the table 'prog_ProposeProg'. Basic star schema with the other two referenced tables having a direct relationship to 'prog_ProposeProgram'.

VAR SubCategory = RELATED(prog_CatSub[Name])
VAR Category = RELATED(prog_Categories[Name])

RETURN
    IF(
        AND(
            CONTAINSSTRING(SubCategory, "Acute"),
            CONTAINSSTRING(Category, "Inpatient")
        ),
        prog_ProposeProgram[Target Area] / [Acute Inpatient],
        
        IF(
            AND(
                CONTAINSSTRING(SubCategory, "Critical"),
                CONTAINSSTRING(Category, "Inpatient")
            ),
            prog_ProposeProgram[Target Area] / [Critical Bed],
            
            IF(
                AND(
                    CONTAINSSTRING(SubCategory, "Rehab"),
                    CONTAINSSTRING(Category, "Inpatient")
                ),
                prog_ProposeProgram[Target Area] / [Rehab Bed],
                BLANK()
        )
    )
)

Use SWITCH(TRUE()...) like:

SWITCH(TRUE(),

  <condition1> && <condition2>,<result1>,

  <condition3> && <condition4>,<result2>

  <default result>

)
