Adding extra condition to IF function with RELATED

Hi all

 

I am using the following DAX formula to check whether a value in Table 1 exceeds a set threshold, given in Table 2. This works fine, but I want to include an additional step to only say Yes if the Sign (from Table 1) is - rather then <. Current and Desired results shown in table 1, so the 2nd row should be No. Please can anyone help?

 

Column = IF(RELATED('Table 1'[Value])>'Table 2'[Threshold],"Yes","No")
 
Parameter codeValueSignCurrent resultDesired result
A5-YesYes
A5<YesNo

Hi @tgjones43 ,

 

Try the DAX formula stated below whether it works for you.

Column =
IF(
    'Table 1'[Sign] = "-",
    IF(
        'Table 1'[Value] > LOOKUPVALUE('Table 2'[Threshold], 'Table 2'[Parameter code], 'Table 1'[Parameter code]),
        "Yes",
        "No"
    ),
    "No"
)
 
The above one checks for the "-" sign. If it is, it checks if the value in Table 1 is greater than the threshold value in Table 2 that matches the parameter code in Table 1. If it is, then  returns "Yes", otherwise it returns "No". If the sign in Table 1 is not "-", it returns "No". 
 
Hope this might help you.

Hi @MS_Sum this works perfectly, thank you!
