Dax Logic

Hi,

 

Could somebody please help me with some Dax?

 

Location 1 and Location 2 are theorietically the same thing but are in my system twice and I need to say, if the qty column is greater than 0 and it matches on the item,loaddate and country, then the location 1 has to take priority and to ignore the item on location 2 but specifically only if it it a match and exists on location 1. There can be occasions where location 2 will have a qty and location 1 wont, but location 1 always has priority.

Hi @lherbert501 

You can refer to the following solution.

The sample data is the same as yours

1.Create a rank column

Rank =
RANKX (
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        [Item] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Item] )
            && [Date] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
            && [Country] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Country] )
    ),
    [Location],
    ,
    ASC
)

2.Create a result column

Result = IF([Rank]=1,[Qty]) 

Output

@Ahmedx  Thanks for your reply.

 

Could you please explain a bit more?

 

Thanks

should I explain it or should you
I just wanted to reproduce your logic if I understood correctly
added a new column and there should be the word priority

I need something like 

 

If Location =' Location 1' and item,date and country match to location 2's  (so it already exists for the other location) then take quantity from location 1, else location 2.
