Dax code check

Hi

 

I have written this dax that gives me an indication when a value is bigger/smaller than the average. Now, I've adjusted the dax so that I get a warning when a value is 0.5% bigger/smaller than the average. 

 

It seems to do the job, but can someone have a check if this is correct? 

 
KPI UG =
 
Var _AverageByCat = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(W_MW_6[(MW_6)]),
ALLEXCEPT(W_MW_6[UG],W_MW_6[Year]))
 
return // _AverageByCat
IF(W_MW_6[(MW_6)] >= (_AverageByCat + 0.005), UNICHAR(128905), BLANK())

@jochendecraene Well that just checks if the current value is above .5% of the average, not if the value is .5% below the average. I would suggest using a SWITCH(TRUE(), ...) statement or you could do it via this:

IF(W_MW_6[(MW_6)] >= (_AverageByCat + 0.005) || W_MW_6[(MW_6)] <= (_AverageByCat - 0.005, UNICHAR(128905), BLANK())

@jochendecraene I don't see how this handles the smaller than .5% of average case.

I thought I handled it by simpling adding 0.005 by the average?

 

IF(W_MW_6[(MW_6)] >= (_AverageByCat + 0.005), UNICHAR(128905), BLANK())
