Formulas using parameters

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to create a column that uses a parameter.

My parameter will be a date, and I need to fill my column according to an "IF" formula that compares the dates from another column to my parameter date, but I don't know how to address my parameter in DAX language.

I tried to put an "#" before the name of my parameter in the formula but that doesn't work.

 

Could you help me please?

 

Thanks

Hi @JulietteGSA,

 

It would be easy if we create a table directly. There is similar feature "What if" that only support numbers for now. Please also refer to How-to-reference-a-parameter-to-a-DAX-function/td-p/60517 and dynamic-parameters-for-what-if-analysis.

 

 

Best Regards,

Dale

Hello @JulietteGSA,

 

According to sqlbi.comIn order to have a parameter in a measure, you need a table with a column that contains all the possible values you might want to use... allows transferring a value through the filter context".

 

You should include sample data with your expected outcome and maybe we can assist further.
