Error with if statement

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have the following if statement

Missed Deadlines = 
if('Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "Critical" & 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>1,"Missed",
if('Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "High" & 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>2,"Missed",
if('Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "Medium" & 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>3,"Missed",
if('Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "Low" & 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>5,"Missed",""))))

However I am getting the error

DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type True/False with values of type Integer. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.

Any help?

You need to use double ampersand '&&' between your logical arguments. A single ampersand simply tries to concatenate text.

I'd also recommend using the SWITCH function in place of your nested IF statements as it makes the code easier to read.

Weekly Service Charge =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    UnitCharge[ChargeFrequencyRef] = "M"
        && DATESBETWEEN ( UnitCharge[StartDate], 01 / 04 / 2018, 01 / 04 / 2019 )
        && UnitCharge[ChargeTypeId] = 2, UnitCharge[ChargeAmount] * 12 / 52,
    UnitCharge[ChargeFrequencyRef] = "Q"
        && DATESBETWEEN ( UnitCharge[StartDate], 01 / 04 / 2018, 01 / 04 / 2019 )
        && UnitCharge[ChargeTypeId] = 2, UnitCharge[ChargeAmount] * 4 / 52,
    UnitCharge[ChargeFrequencyRef] = "Y"
        && DATESBETWEEN ( UnitCharge[StartDate], 01 / 04 / 2018, 01 / 04 / 2019 )
        && UnitCharge[ChargeTypeId] = 2, UnitCharge[ChargeAmount] / 52,
    UnitCharge[ChargeFrequencyRef] = "W"
        && DATESBETWEEN ( UnitCharge[StartDate], 01 / 04 / 2018, 01 / 04 / 2019 )
        && UnitCharge[ChargeTypeId] = 2, UnitCharge[ChargeAmount]
)

Hi @ribisht17 

That has not resolved the comparison issue. any idea?

Same as the old one - it seems to not like the comparison having text and integer.

Even tried

Missed Deadlines =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    'Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "Critical"
        && 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>1,"Missed",
    'Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "High"
       && 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>2,"Missed",
    'Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "Medium"
    && 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>3,"Missed",
    'Maintenance Ticket System'[Status] = "Low"
    && 'Maintenance Ticket System'[JobStarted]>5,"Missed"
)
