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

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?

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.
If not, please feel free to ask me.

@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")
