Create a calc column DAX formula for a specific need

HI all - 

 

You have all been so helpful! Love this forum!

 

I am very new to PBI.  Loving it!

 

I need to create a calculated column in a table I am working with.

 

One column is a BILL TO code... ie.  9132.

 

These codes are for identifying a set of specific retail outlet stores... ie. WalMart

 

The formula used in another application is basically :

Bill To = 41944/ACADEMY, Bill To = 9132, 6180, 501384, 431016/BPCAB, Bill To 5825, 45361/SPORTSMAN, Bill To = 6050/DICKS, Bill To 7181, 534798/GANDER, Bill To NE that listed/SCHEELS

 

How do i write this in DAX?  Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Check the formula below, If i misunderstand your meanings please let me know.

Column = CALCULATE(MAX('Table (2)'[value]),FILTER('Table (2)','Table'[BILL TO code]='Table (2)'[BILL TO code]))

Actually, I was not clear.  The two values are text values.  I think the DAX substitute function will do what i want.  Thanks!

are you wanting to filter by those outlets?

then you would use a filter function

ie

https://forum.enterprisedna.co/t/writing-a-dax-function-to-filter-out-multiple-criteria-for-a-given-...

Filtered Total Sales =
CALCULATE(
[Total Sales],
FILTER(
Outlet,
OutletName = "insertnamehere" ||
OutletName = "insertnamehere" ||

OutletName = "insertnamehere" )
)

|| = or




If I took the time to answer your question and I came up with a solution, please mark my post as a solution and /or give kudos freely for the effort 🙂 Thank you!

@Anonymous , not very clear

example

calculate(sum(table[value]), filter(table, table[Bill To] in {"41944/ACADEMY","9132", "6180", "501384", "431016/BPCAB", "5825","45361/SPORTSMAN"}))
