DAX IF Statement to compare % difference between two values and return TEXT

[MiloPowerBI]

Hello all, 

Hopefully a quick one for someone out there. 

 I have some data, like the image above where there is a list of materials, a Plan of what we planned to produce and Actual for what we actually produced. The numbers for Plan and Actual come from two different tables that are linked together in a relationship via the Material. 

What I want to be able to do is have a measure for the Perform to Plan column, where if the Actual is within 10% of the Plan (can be 10% over or 10% under) it returns "Hit", otherwise "Miss".

Additionally, I would then like to be able to build a few visualisations based on the number of Hits and Misses, so I dont know if a Measure or a Summarized Table is the best way for me to go. 

Any tips or advice, I would be very grateful.

Hi @MiloPowerBI ,

According to your description, here's my solution.

Create a calculated column in the Plan table.

Perform to plan =
IF (
    ABS ( DIVIDE ( RELATED ( 'Actual'[Actual] ) - 'Plan'[Plan], 'Plan'[Plan] ) ) <= 0.1,
    "Hit",
    "Miss"
)

Result:

If you want a visual to show the number of the misses and hits, put the Perform to plan in a column chart both in X-axis and Y-axis, and select count in the Y-axis, get the result:

I attach my sample below for your reference.

Hello yanjiang, 

That worked perfectly. Thank you.

@MiloPowerBI , If Plan and actual need to be a measure. you need a new measure like

if([Actual]<[Plan], "Miss", "Hit")

Now if you hit hand miss in the slicer or on axis, You need to do dynamic segmentation with independent table

refer this video for process

Hello amitchandak, 

Thank you for your response, and that video did help me understand a bit better. 

However, the measure you proposed [if([Actual]<[Plan], "Miss", "Hit")] doesnt quite fit the bill. This will only return a Miss if the Actual is less than the Plan and a Hit if the Actual is more than the Plan. I'm looking to do something like if the Actual is within 10% of the Plan - higher OR lower - its a Hit. 

If the Plan is 100 and the Actual is 98, I would want this to return as a Hit, the measure you proposed would return a Miss for this. 

Any further advice?

Thank you.
