DAX problem, filter/relation ignored when I use IF in the RETURN clause

I have two test tables:

Table: "Test Object"

__Marc___0-1633074419671.png

 

Table: "Test Group"

__Marc___1-1633074493355.png

 

These have a unidirectional relation on "Group code"

__Marc___2-1633074552069.png

 

I have created a measure "Test measure":

__Marc___3-1633074685785.png

 

This gives the correct result:

__Marc___4-1633074747709.png

NB: I have a page filter to only show Group Code "G01".

 

But it goes wrong when I use an IF function:

__Marc___5-1633074816134.png

 

I then get the following result. Apparently the relation seems to be ignored now:

__Marc___6-1633074897218.png

NB: The result doesn't change when I use the "Group code" from any of the two tables.

 

It's probably a basic / dumb mistake, but right now I don't see it. What am I missing here?

 

NB: I've created a PBIX file that shows the problem:

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Try to create measure like so:

Price category = 
VAR lowestPrice =
    MIN ( Object[Price] )
RETURN
    IF ( lowestPrice <> BLANK (), 
       IF ( lowestPrice < 40, "Low end", "High end" ) 
       )

@Anonymous , check that the group code in the visual is taken from Test Object table

I've tried that. The result doesn't change if the Group code is coming from any of the two tables.

if group code coming from two table. Create the formula on master/dimension table(1 side) and use that in visual

 

Can you share a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
