DAX formula Question
Hi,
I wrote this formular in Tableau, I try to change it to PowerBI. But it keeps giving me error message. How can I translate this formular to powerBI. thank!

In dax, the syntax is different from tableau, e.g.: In dax, the if condition statement should be like below:
result = if(condition, result1, result2)
About other function and usage of dax, please refer to dax doc below:

figured out, need nested if statement. thanks!

It would also be a good idea to use variables, e.g.:
var __Quarter = ...
var __QTD = ...
var __QuarterGoal = SWITCH(__Quarter, "Q1", [Q1 Goal], "Q2", [Q2 Goal], etc.
return __QuarterGoal * IF(__QTD < __QuarterGoal , -1,1)
Hope this helps,
Nathan
