Capping variance at 999%

Greetings good people!

 

Please assist with capping the variance to a 999%. The reason for this is in some instances, the variance of MTD vs PY MTD is many digits eg 14628%. Instead, I would like it to reflect or be capped at 999%.

 

 

How can I amend my DAX below to do this?

 

DAX:

 

spl MTD VAR% Gross Activation =
VAR __BASELINE_VALUE = [spl MTD Gross Activation]
VAR __VALUE_TO_COMPARE = [MTD Gross Activation]
RETURN
    IF(
        NOT ISBLANK(__VALUE_TO_COMPARE),    
    IF(ISBLANK(DIVIDE(__VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE)),VALUE("0.00"),DIVIDE(__VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE))
    )

    Please try:

     

    spl MTD VAR% Gross Activation =
VAR __BASELINE_VALUE = [spl MTD Gross Activation]
VAR __VALUE_TO_COMPARE = [MTD Gross Activation]
VAR __VALUE =
    IF (
        NOT ISBLANK ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE ),
        IF (
            ISBLANK ( DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE ) ),
            VALUE ( "0.00" ),
            DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE )
        )
    )
VAR __RESULT =
    MIN ( __VALUE, 9.99 )
RETURN
    __RESULT

    Hi Kratos_ZA ,

    Use SWITCH:

     

    spl MTD VAR% Gross Activation =
VAR __BASELINE_VALUE = [spl MTD Gross Activation]
VAR __VALUE_TO_COMPARE = [MTD Gross Activation]
VAR __VALUE =
    IF (
        NOT ISBLANK ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE ),
        IF (
            ISBLANK ( DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE ) ),
            VALUE ( "0.00" ),
            DIVIDE ( __VALUE_TO_COMPARE - __BASELINE_VALUE, __BASELINE_VALUE )
        )
    )
VAR __RESULT =
    SWITCH ( TRUE (), __VALUE < -9.99, -9.99, __VALUE > 9.99, 9.99, __VALUE )
RETURN
    __RESULT

      Thank you so much! One more thing, I forgot to add, the bottom cap sorry. So it must not exceed 999% and not be lower than -999%, how can we add -999% to the dax you just did?
