DAX if formula not acting as expected

[Bondeuz]

Hi,

I am trying to do a calculation to show the reorder point of my product times a parameter value in order to identify products that is soon in need to be reordered.

I am expecting to set the value to "True" if the available inventory is below the reorder value.

Its working as intended without the parameter value but totaly breaks as soon as i add that in the formula.

I am expecting the "ReOrder x Parameter" to also be "True" here because that is the case.

My measurments looks like this.

Avail. Inv. = BON_Items[InventoryField]-(BON_Items[Y365_Qty_on_Sales_Order]+BON_Items[Y365_Qty_on_Component_Lines])

ReOrder Factor = sum(BON_Items[Reorder_Point])*Parameter[Value for Parameter]

ReOrder = IF(BON_Items[Avail. Inv.]<BON_Items[Reorder_Point],"True","False")

ReOrder x Parameter = IF(BON_Items[Avail. Inv.]<[ReOrder Factor],"True","False")

Well you learn something every day, changing the if formula to a measurment solved it. I had it as a column.

Thanks!

Are you adding it as a column or a measure, because it won't work as a column. Calculated columns are only calculated during data load or refresh, so if you want something to react dynamically to a slicer you will need to implement it as a measure.
