DAX If statement

Hi,

 

I have two data sets, I want to compare 2 different column values and bring the higher value. i have done this with measure but I want to create a new column which contains higher values of the two columns.

Here is an example, If ManQty > ShpQty then it will bring ManQty to the new column else it should bring ShpQty to the new column

Hi, @IEG ;

You could create a new column by following:

Column = var _mman=MAX([MANQty])
var _mshp=MAX([ShpQty])
return IF(_mman<_mshp,[ShpQty],[MANQty])

The final output is shown below:

@IEG , if they are from two tables, you need to copy one of them to another table and then compare.

 

refer 4 ways to copy data from one table to another

If these can not help

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
