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!
| % Variance | Points |
| 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 )Best Regards,
Gao

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.
