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!
| % Variance | Points |
| less than 1% | 0 |
| 1-10% | 5 |
| 11-20% | 10 |
| 21%+ | 15 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
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
)

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.
