Conditional row calculation using a parameter

[jdciaravino]

Hi All,

Did some researching on this but couldn't quite get the right answer. So figured I'd post this here.

Essentially I have year and sales data. (see below)

 I want to create a new column, which for the years 2017-2035 just duplicates the sales data, but for the year 2016 I want to take a percentage of the 2016 sales data based on a parameter the user can control. I will call this the inclusion portion of 2016. The parameter is number of days in 2016 to include "0-365" then divided by 365 to get a percentage.

I tried this with a table calculation however I read that parameters do not work within table calculations and kept getting no result for 2016. I used the below DAX formula and syntax. but this gave me no result.

See below for my result

Any ideas how I would perform this calculation with a measure?

Please let me know if there is other data necessary to show to answer this question.

Regards

You should just have to wrap your [Year] portion in an aggregation like MAX to make that a measure as well as wrapping any other reference to a column in some type of aggregation like SUM or MAX depending on what you are trying to do.

@jdciaravino,

It seems that you are creating a calculated column rather than measure. Right click your table and select "New Measure", then apply the following DAX.

Measure = IF(MAX('SA SWS'[Year])=2016,MAX('SA SWS'[Sales])*'SA SWS'[Selectd Inclusion Value],MAX('SA SWS'[Sales]))
