Using VAR and Return

Alarm & Efficiency % =
    VAR __Calc1 = [alarm percentage]
    VAR __Calc2 = [Efficiency %]
    VAR __Calc3 = ([Efficiency %]+[alarm percentage])/2

RETURN
        IF(ISBLANK(__Calc1), __Calc2)
 
Just need some help with the above please. I want to return Calc3, but if calc1 is showing blank I would like to return cal2

    Hi Muneeb91 ,

     

    You can try this method:

     

    Alarm & Efficiency % =

VAR __Calc1 = 'A&E'[AP]

VAR __Calc2 = 'A&E'[E]

VAR __Calc3 = ( 'A&E'[E] + 'A&E'[AP] ) / 2

RETURN

    SWITCH (

        TRUE (),

        ISBLANK ( __Calc1 ), __Calc2,

        ISBLANK ( __Calc2 ), __Calc1,

        NOT ( ISBLANK ( __Calc1 ) && ISBLANK ( __Calc2 ) ), __Calc3

    )

     

     

    Hope this helps you.

    Hi Muneeb91,

     

    Use:

     

    Alarm & Efficiency % =
VAR _Calc1 = [alarm percentage]
VAR _Calc2 = [Efficiency %]
VAR _Calc3 = ([Efficiency %]+[alarm percentage])/2

RETURN
IF(ISBLANK(_Calc1),_Calc2,_Calc3)

     

    Works for you? Mark this post as a solution if it does!

      Thats great thank you. Is there also a way to do the same for cal2 also?
      So if Calc1 is blank only return Calc2,
      if Calc2 is blank only return Calc1,
      and if neither Calc1 or Calc2 are blank return Calc3
