Wrong DAX

[toum]

Please, I need your help. This DAX formula does not work. Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

I got True/false error. But when I get rid of the variable AmountCateg and I do the calculation of the Switch inside the big measure it works fine, but I want to use the AmountCateg as a variable because I will do another switch for the end result.

VAR SelectedColumn = SELECTEDVALUE('Categories'[ID])
VAR AmountCateg =
SWITCH(
SelectedColumn,
"A", Production[AmountB],
"B", Production[AmountB],
"C", Production[AmountC],
0 -- Default value in case SelectedColumn is not "A", "B", or "C"
)

RETURN
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Production),
AmountCateg >= 1000
)

Thank you.

@toum Maybe:

VAR SelectedColumn = SELECTEDVALUE('Categories'[ID])
VAR AmountCateg =
SWITCH(
SelectedColumn,
"A", Production[AmountB],
"B", Production[AmountB],
"C", Production[AmountC],
0 -- Default value in case SelectedColumn is not "A", "B", or "C"
)

RETURN
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Production),
[AmountCateg] >= 1000
)

Thanks for the reply from @Greg_Deckler , please allow me to provide another insight:

HI,@toum 

Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:

1.First I have created the following table and the column names and data are the data you have given:

2.I then created the following two measure:

AmountB = CALCULATE(SUM('Production'[VALUES]),'Production'[ID]="B")

AmountC = CALCULATE(SUM('Production'[VALUES]),'Production'[ID]="C")

3.Then I will you provide the code as a measure value, he also reported an error:

The main reason for this error is that the filter criteria you provide are not clear.

4.Here's assuming your need is to determine if the current metric is greater than 1000, and then count the number of rows with the same id as the slicer:

Measure = 
VAR SelectedColumn = SELECTEDVALUE('Categories'[ID])
VAR AmountCateg =
SWITCH(
SelectedColumn,
"A", Production[AmountB],
"B", Production[AmountB],
"C", Production[AmountC],
0 -- Default value in case SelectedColumn is not "A", "B", or "C"
)

RETURN
IF(AmountCateg>1000,CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Production'),'Production'[ID]=SelectedColumn),0)

5.Here's my final result, which I hope meets your requirements.

Can you share sample data and sample output in tabular format if I am misunderstanding? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.

Please find the attached pbix relevant to the case.

Best Regards,
