Hi there,
I’m working on converting a number of Excel spreadsheets to Power BI.
In excel multiple IF(OR(MID conditions are straight forward:
=IF(OR(MID(G2,10,1)="1",MID(G2,10,1)="2",MID(G2,10,1)="3"),”XXXX",N2)
In DAX this isn’t as easy:
I’m adding a column in the dashboard and what I’m looking for is an IF(OR(MID with three conditions, using the same Column in the MID.
Here is essentially what I would like:
NEW COLUMN NAME = IF(OR(MID(‘EXISTING-COLUMN-NAME’,10,1) = “1”, MID(‘EXISTING-COLUMN-NAME’,10,1) = “2”, MID(‘EXISTING-COLUMN-NAME’,10,1) = “3”, “XXXX”, ‘ANOTHER-CUSTOM-COLUMN’)
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Should be:
NEW COLUMN NAME = IF(OR(OR(MID(‘EXISTING-COLUMN-NAME’,10,1) = “1”, MID(‘EXISTING-COLUMN-NAME’,10,1) = “2”), MID(‘EXISTING-COLUMN-NAME’,10,1) = “3”), “XXXX”, ‘ANOTHER-CUSTOM-COLUMN’)
Thank you, worked first try.
Try this, where both items highlighted in red need to be a string or a reference to a string
NEW COLUMN NAME = IF ( MID ( 'EXISTING-COLUMN-NAME', 10, 1 ) = { "1", "2", "3" }, "XXXX", 'ANOTHER-CUSTOM-COLUMN' )
Should be:
NEW COLUMN NAME = IF(OR(OR(MID(‘EXISTING-COLUMN-NAME’,10,1) = “1”, MID(‘EXISTING-COLUMN-NAME’,10,1) = “2”), MID(‘EXISTING-COLUMN-NAME’,10,1) = “3”), “XXXX”, ‘ANOTHER-CUSTOM-COLUMN’)
