Calculated Column with multiple IF Else Then

[drrai66]

Hi All,

I have two calculated Columns which I created in the Data view from other Columns. The Calculated Columns are [Number of Days] and [Action]

Number of Days	Action	Result
4	2	Green
6	2	Yellow
8	2	Red
15	3	Blue
16	4	Orange

I want to Have another Calculated Column , [Result]in the Data based upon following conditions;

If [Number of Days]<=5 and Action<=2 THEN Green

ELSE IF [Number of Days]>5 and  [Number of Days]<8 and Action<=2 THEN Yellow

ELSE IF [Number of Days]>=8 and Action<=2 THEN Red

ELSE IF [Number of Days]<=15 and Action<=3 THEN BLUE

ELSE IF [Number of Days]>15 and Action>3 THEN Orange

ELSE Violet

END

Please Help in writing the above to get [Result] Column values

Thanks

Deepak

You can use IF and SWITCH function in DAX to do this. You can either use nested IFs (which should map pretty easily for your sample condition) or SWITCH with first parameter as TRUE and each condition representing an arbitrary condition expression.

Hi SRINIVT,

I am Totally new to Power BI and I am stuck on this. Can you please do one more favour and write the Formula. I had tried earlier but could not do, so I posted here.

Thanks

The DAX is like

Column =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    yourTable[Number of Days] < 5
        && yourTable[Action] <= 2, "Green",
    yourTable[Number of Days] < 8
        && yourTable[Action] <= 2, "Yellow",
    yourTable[Number of Days] >= 8
        && yourTable[Action] <= 2, "Red",
    yourTable[Number of Days] <= 15
        && yourTable[Action] <= 3, "blue",
    yourTable[Number of Days] >= 15
        && yourTable[Action] > 3, "Orange",
    "Violet"
)
