Hi All,
I am new to the PowerBI. Using SQL Query as a base, I need to make calculated column using DAX.But having trouble to create DAX. plese help. Thanks in advance.
Rules for calculated column:
1. If Final = Negative, then Negative
2. If Final = positive AND type = ABCD, then display the associated value in numeric_result
3. IF Final = positive AND type = XYZ, then Positive
4. If Final = In Range, then In Range
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @KT9 ,
Looks like you're trying to create a measure instead of a calculated column. If you use the same exact code, but as a calculated column, you shouldn't have an issue.
Or you can modify @KT9 's formula.
Result =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
YourTable[Final] = "Negative", "Negative",
YourTable[Final] = "Positive" && YourTable[Type] = "ABCD", max(YourTable[Numeric_Result]),
YourTable[Final] = "Positive" && YourTable[Type] = "XYZ", "Positive",
YourTable[Final] = "In Range", "In Range",
BLANK()
)

Try this
Result =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
YourTable[Final] = "Negative", "Negative",
YourTable[Final] = "Positive" && YourTable[Type] = "ABCD", YourTable[Numeric_Result],
YourTable[Final] = "Positive" && YourTable[Type] = "XYZ", "Positive",
YourTable[Final] = "In Range", "In Range",
BLANK()
)
Hi @ElliotG ,
Thank you so much for your response. while importing the SQL data into power BI, I used import query option and wrote the sql query to filter the data and then i load it into the power BI. I tried to write the DAX formulae but it is thowing me this error. I have no idea.
