Create column based on table

Hi Everyone,

 

I created a measure to calculate the % Variance between Actuals and Budget. Based on this, I would like to create a new column to give points based on how much variance, as show below. I tried using an "If" statement but was unable to get it to work properly. Any tips? Thank you!

 

% VariancePoints
less than 1%0
1-10%5
11-20%10
21%+15

Hi @PBINewbie920 ,

 

What about trying the SWITCH() function? Please try this measure.

Measure = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    [% Variance] <= 0.01 , 0 ,
    [% Variance] > 0.01 && [% Variance] <= 0.1 , 5 ,
    [% Variance] > 0.1 && [% Variance] <= 0.2 , 10 ,
    [% Variance] > 0.2 , 15
)

Hi @PBINewbie920 

Can you post sample data and expected output along with the "If" statement measure.

Alternatively you should multiply your value by 100 and use Switch for the range.
