dax switch

‎06-18-2019 12:57 AM

Hello, 
I would like to create a measure to workout the amount based on a currency as follows

Converted value = 

switch(

selectedvalue('Currency'[Code] = "GBP", valueMeasure * ColumnRateGBP

,selectedvalue('Currency'[Code] = "USD", valueMeasure * ColumnRateUSD

)

 

I do not seem to be able to get to ColumnRateGBP value as the dax code complains about it. It is a column in model.

Any suggestions please?

Thank you

@Anonymous are you adding as a column or measure ? Can you share sample data?

@Anonymous but you are not using any aggregation. 2nd part of my question was to share sample data. 

 

To get help, you need to provide more information. Read this post to get your answer quickly.
