Formulas

HI All, 

 

I'm fairly new to PowerBI and Im struggling to get a formula to work, Im hoping one of you experts can help me 

 

IF(SUM('Order Data'[DocumentTypeID])=1,(SOPInvoiceCreditLine[LineTotalValue]),(SOPInvoiceCreditLine[LineTotalValue]*-1))
 
If DocumentTypeID is 1 then  *-1 to LineTotalVal
 
I have wrote this formula in PowerBI however its adding a - to all figures and not to the figure that has a condition,
 
Please can someone help?

The problem is that this formula is not checking the value of DocumentTypeID on a row by row basis, you are adding the DocumentTypeID for all rows and then checking if the sum of those is equal to 1 (which it won't be).

 

The way to solve this is to use SUMX to evaluate this expression on a row by row basis.

 

eg.

 

SUMX('Order Data',
    IF('Order Data'[DocumentTypeID]=1
      , SOPInvoiceCreditLine[LineTotalValue]
      , SOPInvoiceCreditLine[LineTotalValue] * -1)
)

Hi

 

Thanks, I have tried that but still not working, 

Their is a minus figure applied to all figures instead of the one with the condition.

 

See diagram below. 

 

So the very last figure should be a negative also the figures in Line Val ADJ should match those in LineTotalValue

 

Hope you can help

What's the relationship between 'Order Data' and 'SOPInvoiceCreditLine' can you post a picture of the table diagram?

 

Is [LineTotalValue] a measure or a column?
