DAX Measure : If(selectedvalue="value from column", then...

[jfranco]

Hello.

As stated would appreciate suggestions.

I have 3 slicers for user input and have "selectedvalue" measures for each, two are text values (customer and location), the third is a % change value.

I am trying something of the likes of, as a measure:

If (and (selectedvalue(customer)=customer(from a column), selectedvalue(location)=location(from a column)), then volume(from a column)*(1+selectedvalue(%_Change)), else volume(from a column)

Since the measure won't let me select values from column (many), I'm at a loss

Thanks for your help

Hi @jfranco,

You can try to use the following measure formulas if it suitable for your requirement:

formula =
VAR sCustomer =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Selector1[customer] )
VAR sLocation =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Selector2[location] )
VAR sChange =
    MAX ( Selector3[Change] )
VAR _percent =
    IF (
        AND (
            sCustomer IN VALUES ( Table1[customer] ),
            sLocation IN VALUES ( Table1[location] )
        ),
        sChange
    )
RETURN
    SUM ( Table1[Volume] ) * ( 1 + _percent )

Comment: Selector 1, 2, 3 are three standalone tables that used as source of slicer and not have relationship to the fact table.

Hi @jfranco 

Try this

IF (selectedvalue(customer)= MAX(customer(from a column)) && selectedvalue(location)= MAX(location(from a column), MAX(volume(from a column))*(1+selectedvalue(%_Change)), MAX(volume(from a column))

But without seeing your data or an examlpe of the result you expect, I'm guessing a bit.

Thanks @PhilipTreacy 

I can't upload my model, but I did create a simpler one with 'fake/dummy' variables (attached link) : Volumes PBIX   as you can see the measure does not change any values.

BTW you and this community are awesome, this is a world I want to live in.

Thanks
