Conditional values in calculated column

Hi Experts,

 

I have create a calcualted column like below

city group = SWITCH(
TRUE(),
SELECTEDVALUE(Orders[City - Copy]) in {"Columbus","San Francisco"},"Columbus/san",
SELECTEDVALUE(Orders[City - Copy]) in {"New York City","Clinton"},"New/Clinton",
SELECTEDVALUE(Orders[City - Copy]) in {"Texas","Dublin"},"Tex/Dub",
SELECTEDVALUE(Orders[City - Copy]) in {"Washington","Oregon"},"wash/oregon",
"NA")

i need to take values from sales column for Dublin, Washington, Columbus and New York City only . when i create an IF condition and put in table, it shows zero values for all . Pls clarify

  • SelvakumaranM change your city group column

    city group =
    VAR __city = Orders[City - Copy]
    RETURN
     SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    __city in {"Columbus","San Francisco"},"Columbus/san",
    __city  in {"New York City","Clinton"},"New/Clinton",
    __city  in {"Texas","Dublin"},"Tex/Dub",
    __city  in {"Washington","Oregon"},"wash/oregon",
    "NA")

    Hi, SelvakumaranM 

     

    First, calculated columns usually don't need to use SELECTEDVALUE(), you can directly use the column name to represent the value of the current row, just like parry2k  wrote. Is your problem solved?

     

     

    i need to take values from sales column for Dublin, Washington, Columbus and New York City only . when i create an IF condition and put in table, it shows zero values for all . 

     


    But I don't know what you mean by demand in your last sentence. Your calculated column displayed the combined result, but you mentioned a series of single cities, can you explain it?

     

    Did I answer your question? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
