Calculated measures

[MiraAnniina]

Do you know if it's possible to make such function, that shows calculated measures on rows based on months on columns? I have calculated measures on rows and calendar-hierarchy from tabular model.

I would like to have a function like:

JanuaryMeasure =  if ( month="Jan" , xxx )

FebruaryMeasure =  if ( month="Feb" , xxx )

I can't seem to figure this out 😕 I studied the internet and it seems that function IF works with measures, but what kind of function would work with months?

Hi, sorry for my poor question. I will try to be more clear. Does this example help:

	January	February
Measure 1 (on Jan)	xxx
Measure 2 (on Feb)		yyy

Now I'm looking for a function, that would show these "xxx" and "yyy" on the report based on the month column. So I would have a measure on rows and depending on the month, it will or will not show the amount. What would my functions look like on rows Measure 1 and Measure 2?

Hi @MiraAnniina 

In addition to  amitchandak ‘s reply, if you want to show result "xxx" or "yyy" based on the month column,  you just need to build one measure/ calculated column to achieve your goal.

Try if or switch function. 

Measure:

Measure = 
SWITCH(MAX('Table'[Month]),"January","xxx","February","yyy","zzz")

Calculated column:

Calculated column = 
SWITCH('Table'[Month],"January","xxx","February","yyy","zzz")

Result is as below.

Build a matrix visual and don't forget set show values in row in Format.

If you want to show result as you show above, you may need to build measures for each month.

@MiraAnniina , In the matrix you have the option to show measure on row

"Show on row" - Switch that on and try. No row. and month on the column

Hi @MiraAnniina 

I'm not very clear about what you want to do.  Can you please provide some examples of the data and the results you want.
