HELP with DAX (Conditional Measure)!!!!
I want to create a column with a calculated value:
If the Value in "sum of fines" is < average fines, return (Average fines - sum fines) if not return "sum of fines"
I am using this DAX:
Hi Debsidrian ,
I’d like to acknowledge the valuable input provided by the vicky_ . Their initial ideas were instrumental in guiding my approach. However, I noticed that further details were needed to fully understand the issue.
You can try this.
ConditionalValue = IF( SUM(Record[fines]) <[TotalAvg], [TotalAvg]-([fines average per dc_nbr]), SUM(Record[fines]))More detailed information can be found in the pbix attachment.

The issue might be in the 1st part of your DAX:
ConditionalValue = IF( SELECTEDVALUE(Record[fines]) ... // is this supposed to be SUM?I think what's happening is that the SELECTEDVALUE() can't find a single value of [fines] per dc_nbr value, so it will return BLANK. The docs for the function (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/selectedvalue-function-dax) says that it will only return one distinct value, otherwise it will return an alternative value, which defaults to blank (and will be less than whatever [TotalAvg] you have). As a result, the second condition never evaluates.
yes is supposded to be a SUM
