Hi. I have a calculate function. I need to decide on the fly whether it uses all() (based on user input in a checkbox) as one of its arguments. Is this at all possible? Calculate( something, if(checkbox is true, all(dates), do nothing) )
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @yasbos ,
Maybe you can try formula like below:
ConditionalTotalSales =
IF(
[SelectedOption] = "Include All",
CALCULATE(
[TotalSales],
ALL('Calendar')
),
CALCULATE(
[TotalSales]
)
)
SelectedOption = SELECTEDVALUE(Checkbox[Option], "Exclude All")
TotalSales = SUM(Sales[Sales])
Best Regards,
Adamk Kong

Thanks so much, @lbendlin . I forgot to mention that I did know this solution, but I was hoping for a more localized decision because the calculate function that I have is much larger than just one line. I was hoping to modularize the code. Thanks so much for your help, nonetheless.

You get the "do nothing" for free if you omit the "else" parameter.
