Capping variance at 999%

[Kratos_ZA]

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))

    )

@Kratos_ZA ，

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

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?

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
