Converting If/else statements from Excel

I have a table that I am trying to figure out the DAX input for. The formula in excel was: 

 

=if([Invoice Account]="112541",.11,IF([Customer Rebate Group]="TDG",.07,IF(OR([Invoice Account]="139871",[Invoice Account]="131324"),.08,.07)))

 

In Power BI, the table has a column of customer numbers, that I need to create a measure for to assign the values above to, so I can bring those in as another column. Can someone help me convert the excel formula?

Hi @rcb0325 ,


You could modify measure by the following formula:

Rebate Multiplier =
IF (
    MAX ( [BillToCustomerCustomerNumber] ) = "112541",
    .11,
    IF (
        MAX ( [BillToCustomerCustomerRebateGroup] ) = "TDG",
        .07,
        IF (
            MAX ( [BillToCustomerCustomerNumber] ) = "139871"
                || MAX ( [BillToCustomerCustomerNumber] ) = "131324",
            .08,
            .07)))
  

The final output is shown below:

When I type out the DAX, and replace the fields with what they should be, it is not allowing me to use them. (highlighted below). 

 

Is there a certain format that the field has to be in? 

 

=IF([BillToCustomerCustomerNumber]="112541",.11,IF([BillToCustomerCustomerRebateGroup]="TDG",.07,IF(OR([BillToCustomerCustomerNumber]="139871",[BillToCustomerCustomerNumber]="131324"),.08,.07)))

Hi,

It should be written as a calculated column formula (not as a measure).  Also, the best practise is to precede the column name with the table name.

Hi,

The calculated column formula should remain the same in DAX as well.  Just replace Invoice Account, Customer Rebate Group and Invoice Account with customer numbers.

Hope this helps.
