Hey nataliesmiy1357 ,

 

using Power Query (M) here is a M snippet

if [Dim1] = "A" and [Dim2] = "B" then "this" else "that"

and the same using DAX to create a calculated column

if ( ( 'Table'[Dim1] = "A" && 'Table'[Dim2] = "B" ), "this" , "that" )

If this does not help consider creating a pbix using Power BI Desktop and uploading the file to your private onedrive or dropbox account (this is how most of us share files).

 

Regards,

Tom

    That idea works yes - but I'm having trouble putting it into my report.  It unfilters everything when I put that measure into the table.  It's not grouping the data like I wanted....

     

    Development Status =
    VAR variable1 = SELECTEDVALUE(V_TM_ModulePowerBI[ProficiencyNumber])*3
    VAR variable2 = count(V_TM_ModulePowerBI[EmployeeName])*3

    return
    if(variable1 >= variable2, "YES", "NO")

    Hi nataliesmiy1357 ,

     

    I think your logic is 

     

     if (count(employee name) with score >= 3 is greaterthan or equal to minumum number of tms, yes, no)

     

    I am confused about your countof [EmployeeName] or  current [ProficiencyNumber] will multiply by 3.

    I couldn't find V_TM_ModulePowerBI[ProficiencyNumber] and V_TM_ModulePowerBI[EmployeeName] in your screenshot. Please show me a screenshot of your table. This will make it easier for us to understand your requirement.

     

    Best Regards,
